What is the "|=" Operator?

[Asparagus]

How should I interpret this statement? I've Googled it and can't find anything on it.

 

[Onund]

aFlag = aFlag | (m_actives.size() != 0)

see here for order of precedence

|= is just the short hand bitwise OR like '+='

same as +=

I think you are dealing with a bit wise operation/assignment.

a |= b
Same as:
a = a | b
