这是一个可移植的模块(ANSI-C)，它可以在任何架构上对每个算法进行基准测试。

你的CPU有9位字节?目前它实现了2个算法，K&R算法和一个字节查找表。查找表的平均速度比K&R算法快3倍。如果有人能想出办法使“黑客的喜悦”算法可移植，请随意添加它。

如果您恰好使用Java，则内置方法Integer。bitCount会这样做。

对于Java，有一个Java .util. bitset。 https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/BitSet.html

cardinality():返回在BitSet中设置为true的比特数。

BitSet是内存高效的，因为它被存储为Long类型。

几个悬而未决的问题:-

如果这个数是负的呢? 如果这个数字是1024，那么“迭代除以2”方法将迭代10次。

我们可以修改算法以支持负数:-

count = 0
while n != 0
if ((n % 2) == 1 || (n % 2) == -1
    count += 1
  n /= 2  
return count

现在为了克服第二个问题，我们可以编写这样的算法:-

int bit_count(int num)
{
    int count=0;
    while(num)
    {
        num=(num)&(num-1);
        count++;
    }
    return count;
}

完整参考请参见:

为什么不迭代地除以2呢?

count = 0
while n > 0
  if (n % 2) == 1
    count += 1
  n /= 2  

我同意这不是最快的，但是“最好”这个词有点含糊不清。我认为“最好”应该有一个清晰的元素

大约在1990年，我为RISC机器编写了一个快速比特计数宏。它不使用高级算术(乘法，除法，%)，内存提取(太慢)，分支(太慢)，但它确实假设CPU有一个32位的桶移位器(换句话说，>> 1和>> 32占用相同的周期)。它假定小常数(如6、12、24)加载到寄存器中不需要花费任何代价，或者存储在临时变量中并反复重用。

在这些假设下，在大多数RISC机器上，它在大约16个周期/指令中计算32位。注意，15条指令/周期接近于周期或指令数量的下界，因为似乎至少需要3条指令(掩码、移位、运算符)才能将加数的数量减半，因此log_2(32) = 5,5 x 3 = 15条指令是准下界。

#define BitCount(X,Y)           \
                Y = X - ((X >> 1) & 033333333333) - ((X >> 2) & 011111111111); \
                Y = ((Y + (Y >> 3)) & 030707070707); \
                Y =  (Y + (Y >> 6)); \
                Y = (Y + (Y >> 12) + (Y >> 24)) & 077;

这是第一步也是最复杂的一步:

input output
AB    CD             Note
00    00             = AB
01    01             = AB
10    01             = AB - (A >> 1) & 0x1
11    10             = AB - (A >> 1) & 0x1

所以如果我取上面的第一列(A)，右移1位，然后从AB减去它，我就得到了输出(CD)。扩展到3位类似;如果你愿意，你可以用一个8行布尔表来检查它。

不吉利
