countbits
Description
Population count. Counts the number of set bits in the binary representation of a value.
Signature
uint countbits(uint value); vector<uint, N> countbits<N:int>(vector<uint, N> value);
Generic Parameters
N : int
Parameters
value : uint
The value to count bits in.
value : vector<uint, N>
The value to count bits in.
Return value
The number of bits in the binary representation of value that are set to one.
Remarks
For SPIR-V, this function maps to OpBitCount.
