假设你有一个好的编译器&它可以做bit twiddling在这一点上我以上，但无论如何这是工作!!

    // http://graphics.stanford.edu/~seander/bithacks.html#IntegerLogObvious
    #define SH1(v)  ((v-1) | ((v-1) >> 1))            // accidently came up w/ this...
    #define SH2(v)  ((v) | ((v) >> 2))
    #define SH4(v)  ((v) | ((v) >> 4))
    #define SH8(v)  ((v) | ((v) >> 8))
    #define SH16(v) ((v) | ((v) >> 16))
    #define OP(v) (SH16(SH8(SH4(SH2(SH1(v))))))         

    #define CB0(v)   ((v) - (((v) >> 1) & 0x55555555))
    #define CB1(v)   (((v) & 0x33333333) + (((v) >> 2) & 0x33333333))
    #define CB2(v)   ((((v) + ((v) >> 4) & 0xF0F0F0F) * 0x1010101) >> 24)
    #define CBSET(v) (CB2(CB1(CB0((v)))))
    #define FLOG2(v) (CBSET(OP(v)))

测试代码如下:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

// http://graphics.stanford.edu/~seander/bithacks.html#IntegerLogObvious
#define SH1(v)  ((v-1) | ((v-1) >> 1))  // accidently guess this...
#define SH2(v)  ((v) | ((v) >> 2))
#define SH4(v)  ((v) | ((v) >> 4))
#define SH8(v)  ((v) | ((v) >> 8))
#define SH16(v) ((v) | ((v) >> 16))
#define OP(v) (SH16(SH8(SH4(SH2(SH1(v))))))         

#define CB0(v)   ((v) - (((v) >> 1) & 0x55555555))
#define CB1(v)   (((v) & 0x33333333) + (((v) >> 2) & 0x33333333))
#define CB2(v)   ((((v) + ((v) >> 4) & 0xF0F0F0F) * 0x1010101) >> 24)
#define CBSET(v) (CB2(CB1(CB0((v)))))
#define FLOG2(v) (CBSET(OP(v))) 

#define SZ4         FLOG2(4)
#define SZ6         FLOG2(6)
#define SZ7         FLOG2(7)
#define SZ8         FLOG2(8) 
#define SZ9         FLOG2(9)
#define SZ16        FLOG2(16)
#define SZ17        FLOG2(17)
#define SZ127       FLOG2(127)
#define SZ1023      FLOG2(1023)
#define SZ1024      FLOG2(1024)
#define SZ2_17      FLOG2((1ul << 17))  // 
#define SZ_LOG2     FLOG2(SZ)

#define DBG_PRINT(x) do { std::printf("Line:%-4d" "  %10s = %-10d\n", __LINE__, #x, x); } while(0);

uint32_t arrTble[FLOG2(63)];

int main(){
    int8_t n;

    DBG_PRINT(SZ4);    
    DBG_PRINT(SZ6);    
    DBG_PRINT(SZ7);    
    DBG_PRINT(SZ8);    
    DBG_PRINT(SZ9); 
    DBG_PRINT(SZ16);
    DBG_PRINT(SZ17);
    DBG_PRINT(SZ127);
    DBG_PRINT(SZ1023);
    DBG_PRINT(SZ1024);
    DBG_PRINT(SZ2_17);

    return(0);
}

输出:

Line:39           SZ4 = 2
Line:40           SZ6 = 3
Line:41           SZ7 = 3
Line:42           SZ8 = 3
Line:43           SZ9 = 4
Line:44          SZ16 = 4
Line:45          SZ17 = 5
Line:46         SZ127 = 7
Line:47        SZ1023 = 10
Line:48        SZ1024 = 10
Line:49        SZ2_16 = 17

C / c++中用于整数输入的高效微软(例如Visual Studio 2017)特定解决方案。在检查最有效的1位的位置之前，通过递减处理输入完全匹配2的幂值的情况。

inline unsigned int ExpandToPowerOf2(unsigned int Value)
{
    unsigned long Index;
    _BitScanReverse(&Index, Value - 1);
    return (1U << (Index + 1));
}

// - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

#if defined(WIN64) // The _BitScanReverse64 intrinsic is only available for 64 bit builds because it depends on x64

inline unsigned long long ExpandToPowerOf2(unsigned long long Value)
{
    unsigned long Index;
    _BitScanReverse64(&Index, Value - 1);
    return (1ULL << (Index + 1));
}

#endif

这将为英特尔处理器生成5个左右的内联指令，类似如下:

dec eax
bsr rcx, rax
inc ecx
mov eax, 1
shl rax, cl

显然Visual Studio c++编译器并没有针对编译时值进行优化，但这里并没有大量的指令。

编辑:

如果你想让输入值1产生1(2的0次方)，对上面代码的一个小修改仍然会生成没有分支的直通指令。

inline unsigned int ExpandToPowerOf2(unsigned int Value)
{
    unsigned long Index;
    _BitScanReverse(&Index, --Value);
    if (Value == 0)
        Index = (unsigned long) -1;
    return (1U << (Index + 1));
}

生成更多的指令。诀窍在于Index可以被一个测试后跟一个cmove指令所取代。

还有一个，虽然我用的是循环，但这比数学操作数要快得多

功率两“地板”选项:

int power = 1;
while (x >>= 1) power <<= 1;

两个“ceil”选项的力量:

int power = 2;
x--;    // <<-- UPDATED
while (x >>= 1) power <<= 1;

更新

正如在评论中提到的，在cell中有错误，它的结果是错误的。

以下是全部功能:

unsigned power_floor(unsigned x) {
    int power = 1;
    while (x >>= 1) power <<= 1;
    return power;
}

unsigned power_ceil(unsigned x) {
    if (x <= 1) return 1;
    int power = 2;
    x--;
    while (x >>= 1) power <<= 1;
    return power;
}

我认为这也是可行的:

int power = 1;
while(power < x)
    power*=2;

答案就是力量。

@YannDroneaud答案的变体，适用于x==1，仅适用于x86平台，编译器，gcc或clang:

__attribute__ ((const))
static inline uint32_t p2(uint32_t x)
{
#if 0
    assert(x > 0);
    assert(x <= ((UINT32_MAX/2) + 1));
#endif
  int clz;
  uint32_t xm1 = x-1;
  asm(
    "lzcnt %1,%0"
    :"=r" (clz)
    :"rm" (xm1)
    :"cc"
    );
    return 1 << (32 - clz);
}
