A timing confounder: I see that CPython's _Py_popcount32() only tries to use the relevant blazing fast hardware instruction if defined(__clang__) || defined(__GNUC__). On Windows, it's a long-winded bit-fiddling dance. So which of xor-popcount and add-up-up-trailing-zero-counts is faster may well depend on platform. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37295> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
