        <pre>Hi,

I have somme annoying issues with using builtins for generating compile-time
constants. It works beautiful with gcc but clang apparently doesnt have
"constexpr builtins". Most of them should easily be able to work at compile
time, amongst them: __builtin_ffs, __builtin_clz, __builtin_ctz,
__builtin_popcount, __builtin_bswap32, __builtin_bswap64

For testing, compile the following with -std=c++11:

inline constexpr int popCount(const unsigned long uVal)
{
    return __builtin_popcountll(uVal);
}

int main()
{
    return popCount(45);
]</pre>
