Subject: bug#70898: switching to <stdbit.h> for Emacs bit ops
Date: Mon, 13 May 2024 16:34:48 +0200

Has C23 been frozen yet? The most recent accessible draft I could find was N3096.

Overall happy with the changes but haven't read them in detail.
Minor things I stumbled upon:

Unfinished work?

`__gl_stdbit_popcount_support`, maybe?


(By the way, in case you are on the WG: the N3096 draft has

> 7.18.8 First Leading One
...
> Returns the most significant index of the first 1 bit in value, plus 1.

Someone jumbled that sentence. Something like "the index of the most significant 1 bit" was probably intended.
