Abstract

Converting a mask constraint into a bitset constraint. For example, a method of converting a mask constraint into a bitset constraint may include determining an intermediate bitset based on a variable-bit component of the mask constraint; and generating the bitset constraint based on the intermediate bitset and on a fixed-bit component of the mask constraint. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
