Raymond, using the count of trailing zeroes instead is exactly what I suggested before, here: https://bugs.python.org/issue37295#msg409000 So Mark & I already batted that around. For whatever reasons he had, though, he stuck with the xor-popcount approach. Presumably he found that was faster than looking up trailing zero counts. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37295> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
