Few questions here.

Is there a way to bitwise two memory chunks together that are larger than
the largest primitive type built into c++? Or in other words, if I have two
pointers to arbitrarily sized memory chunks that are equal to eachother and
exceed say 32 bits.. can I bitwise those two memory chunks together? I
assume that the memory chunks would have to be in multiples of the size of a
byte. In my app, the chunk of memory would require me to use 176 bitwise
operations at 32 bits at a time to obtain the results I want. Are bitwise
operations costly in cpu time? Thanks..
