Agreed. I'll let you take care of this.
FYI config/link-map.gnu's export of std::_S_bit_count can now be
removed.
Formatting issues:
- while ( __byte_ptr < __end_ptr )
should be
- while (__byte_ptr < __end_ptr)
and
- // find byte within word
should be
- // Find byte within word.
also, it might be possible to completely eliminate the macro CHAR_BIT
now. If possible, this should be done.
Phil, you might want to try and port this back to 3.2/3.3.
