Functions
Defined in header <stdbit.h>
stdc_leading_zeros (C23)	counts the number of consecutive ​0​ bits, starting from the most significant bit (type-generic function macro)
stdc_leading_ones (C23)	counts the number of consecutive 1 bits, starting from the most significant bit (type-generic function macro)
stdc_trailing_zeros (C23)	counts the number of consecutive ​0​ bits, starting from the least significant bit (type-generic function macro)
stdc_trailing_ones (C23)	counts the number of consecutive 1 bits, starting from the least significant bit (type-generic function macro)
stdc_first_leading_zero (C23)	finds the first position of ​0​ bit, starting from the most significant bit (type-generic function macro)
stdc_first_leading_one (C23)	finds the first position of 1 bit, starting from the most significant bit (type-generic function macro)
stdc_first_trailing_zero (C23)	finds the first position of ​0​ bit, starting from the least significant bit (type-generic function macro)
stdc_first_trailing_one (C23)	finds the first position of 1 bit, starting from the least significant bit (type-generic function macro)
stdc_count_zeros (C23)	counts the number of ​0​ bits in an unsigned integer (type-generic function macro)
stdc_count_ones (C23)	counts the number of 1 bits in an unsigned integer (type-generic function macro)
stdc_has_single_bit (C23)	checks if a number is an integral power of 2 (type-generic function macro)
stdc_bit_width (C23)	finds the smallest number of bits needed to represent the given value (type-generic function macro)
