Likely similar to the hamming weight table mentioned in TDPL.
Combined with the canUseBulk I think I could make it fairly fast.
I now tried to bring it to the next level, using concurrency to bread
a couple of populations and make the best solutions migrate between

But, to use concurrency in D, one has to continually cast between

Not only that, casting away from immutable (or too,

I agree that having the compiler make warnings about unused
variables is a really good idea!!!
Java has it and when I program in eclipse it's really useful
because the editor can highlight the particular lines.

Yeah 32 or 64 bits, thanks for changing the title.

I don't really know, I'm looking at this from a point of wrapping C++.

If I made two fields in a 64bit bitfield, each 32bits int's I'd

I would add though that requesting a field in bits that is

Thank you for your reply.
I have some more questions:
I simplified my example. Now my monitor is used for mutual
exclusion, to understand how monitors work first.
// 3 threads are running P() - the main thread is not one of them
void P()
