// Adapted from Hacker's Delight, 2nd Edition, Figure 5-2.
//
// Ideally this should be dispatched per platform to use optimized
// instructions when available, such as POPCNT on modern x86/AMD. Our builds
// still target and support older architectures that might lack support for
// these, however. For example, with current build configurations,
// __builtin_popcount(x) would generate a call to a similar but slower 64-bit
// version of this 32-bit implementation.
