Unable to use BitVec

1

I need to use BitVec and its capabilities but the compiler throws error saying it's unstable. How do i use it / is there any alternative ?

rustc --version
rustc 1.0.0-nightly (c89de2c56 2015-03-28) (built 2015-03-29)

See feature gating and the referenced RFC (509).

Is there a good alternative to bitvec on crates.io? (For stable crates). Doesn't need to be featureful, ideally lightweight.

The error message should include the #![feature(...)] attribute you need to add to silence the error (opting-in to the risk of breakage).

I just published FixedBitSet for my own use, so that I could lift petgraph to be stable. It's a very simple BitSet. Implementing growing should be relatively simple, though.
