Talk:Bit array

Find first one

"Find first one" pseudocode... after extensive searching on the net, I cannot find any way to perform this efficiently on an x86 processor (assembler code, pseudocode or c/other code). =( Is the following pseudocode the best way to implement it?

function findfirstone(number)
begin
 result = 0
 tmp = 1
 while tmp and number = 0 do
 begin
  result++
  tmp = tmp << 1
 end
end

Are FreePascal bitpacked arrays of booleans bit arrays? Hixie (talk) 06:30, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Merge with bitfield?

Since bitfields are not indexable, but bit arrays are, I'd like to oppose the merge. --Nomen4Omen (talk) 18:30, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
