Detailed Description

BitReader compilation unit.

This file exists for library structure purposes. The BitReader class is implemented entirely in the header file (bitreader.hpp) because:

1. BitReader uses inline functions for performance-critical bit operations
2. Header-only design allows full inlining by the compiler
3. Consistent with the rest of the library's header-only approach

Benefits of header-only implementation:

• Compiler can inline all bit manipulation operations
• No function call overhead for tight loops
• Simpler build configuration

This .cpp file:

• Includes the header to verify it compiles correctly in isolation
• Provides a compilation unit for the static library
• Can hold non-inline utilities if needed in the future
