@Mohit: If n is a power of 2, then the macro returns x if x is a
multiple of n or x rounded up to the next multiple of n if x is not a
multiple of n. E.g., ROUNDUP(16,4) = 16 and ROUNDUP(17,4) = 20. The
result doesn't appear useful if n is not a power of 2.
Since ~(n-1) = -n, it could be written
What is the practical application of this expression?

@Sandy: You could use this when you need to round up a number to a
number that has a certain number of low-order zeros. As far as a
practical application: when you need it you need it.
