STDC_TRAILING_ONES(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers STDC_TRAILING_ONES(9F)

NAME

stdc_trailing_ones, stdc_trailing_ones_uc, stdc_trailing_ones_us,
stdc_trailing_ones_ui, stdc_trailing_ones_ul, stdc_trailing_ones_ull -
count consecutive trailing one bits

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/stdbit.h>

unsigned int
stdc_trailing_ones(generic_value_type value);

unsigned int
stdc_trailing_ones_uc(unsigned char value);

unsigned int
stdc_trailing_ones_us(unsigned short value);

unsigned int
stdc_trailing_ones_ui(unsigned int value);

unsigned int
stdc_trailing_ones_ul(unsigned long value);

unsigned int
stdc_trailing_ones_ull(unsigned long long value);

DESCRIPTION

The stdc_trailing_ones() family of functions counts the number of
consecutive one bits present in value starting at the least significant
bit.

The stdc_trailing_ones() function is generic and will operate on all 8,
16, 32, and 64-bit unsigned integers; however, it is only available in
C23. The other functions all operate on a specific integer type, but
otherwise behave the same and are available regardless of the C
language version.

CONTEXT

These functions may be called from user, kernel, or interrupt context.

RETURN VALUES

The functions in the stdc_trailing_ones() family always return the
number of trailing ones found in value. These functions cannot fail.
