Class:
Elemental function

Arguments:

I Shall be of type INTEGER.

Return value:
The type of the return value is the default INTEGER. If all the bits of I are zero, the result value is BIT_SIZE(I).
Example:
          PROGRAM test_leadz
            WRITE (*,*) BIT_SIZE(1)  ! prints 32
            WRITE (*,*) LEADZ(1)     ! prints 31
          END PROGRAM
