 -1.

 Why should this graph code use a type of at least 32 bits? Where does the
 arbitrary number 32 come from? Why not `int_fast16_t` or `int_fast64_t`
 then?

 If you don't want `int`, I'd go with `long` then which is also guaranteed
 to be at least 32 bits and which matches the actual return type of
 `bitset_first_in_complement()`.

 > you should never use the old `int` / `long` except to match legacy
 libraries, its bad style and very hard to write 100% standards-compliant
 code.
 Really, why that? I would say that you should always use types like `long`
 unless you need a specific bit-length.
