c++14 - C++ gcc _builtin function gives unexpected answer -
int64_t n=7; after printing __builtin_clz(n) answer 29 rather expected answer 61.
that signature intrinsic using:
int __builtin_clz (unsigned int x)
as can see works on 32-bit unsigned. treat 64 bit integer 32 one. since 7 has 4 bits set return 32-3 = 29
try __builtin_clzl; or __builtin_clzll instead.
