i32
value off the stack, counts the number of leading zero bits on the left, and then
pushes the result back on to the stack. This is the number of 0 bits at the higher end of the binary number (0b00000110 has 5
leading zeros, plus the other zero bits for the remaining 3 bytes that make up the 32 bit integer).
i32.clz
i32 | The value to workout the leading 0 bits for. |
i32 | The number of leading 0 bits the value has. |
;; Push the i32 value 0x0F12AB44 onto the stack i32.const 0x0F12AB44 ;; Pop the i32 value off the stack, count the number of leading zeros ;; and push the result back onto the stack i32.clz ;; The stack contains an i32 value of 4
