I also came up with this:

import std.stdio;
pragma( inline, true ):
static int kroundup32( int x){
--(x);
writeln("X: ",x);
 (x)|=(x)>>1;
writeln("X: ",x);
 (x)|=(x)>>2;
writeln("X: ",x);
(x)|=(x)>>4;
writeln("X: ",x);
 (x)|=(x)>>8;
writeln("X: ",x);
 (x)|=(x)>>16;
writeln("X: ",x);
 ++(x);
writeln("X: ",x);

 return x;
}

int main(){
  int num = 31;
  num = kroundup32(num);
  writeln("Num:", num);
  return 0;
}

Is this way of using pragma the same as your way? I am still new 
to this so I want to understand more.

And is it a good idea to do manipulate 'num' directly so I can 
omit 'return' and avoid re-assigning statement? That's what C 
version does.
