Sorry for not being clear.
I should have thought about it more before answering. :)
I understand why the current bsr behaves like it does, but what
I meant is whether that is the desired behavior of bsr:
bsr( byte(-1) ) == 31 (32-bit size_t)
bsr( byte(-1) ) == 63 (64-bit size_t)
instead of
bsr( byte(-1) ) == 7
I think 7 is the desired result.
I don't know whether there are uses for bsr with negative signed
arguments since it returns the MSB position for all values.
