1. Are you opening this pull request for bug-fixes, optimizations or new feature?
optimizations
2. Please describe how these code changes achieve your intention.
bits.Len()
is optimized by the compiler as an intrinsic function, which uses an inlineBSRQ
instruction. This is significantly faster than using the for loop.See the corresponding assembly code https://godbolt.org/z/rTebv3q7c
3. Please link to the relevant issues (if any).
no
