Comment (by jdemeyer):

 Replying to [comment:23 ncohen]:
 > The popcount function as it is implemented is made for 32 bits integers
 That's not clear from looking at the code.

 > and I thought it was better to write a popcount function for "int" than
 to write a popcount function for int32_fast_t, so here it is. This
 function just tests the size of an int before returning its result.
 That's my question: why do the test?  Why not just do
 {{{
 cdef inline int popcount(int i):
     return __builtin_popcount(i)
 }}}

 Also: there are portability issues: `__builtin_popcount()` is a GCC
 extension, certainly not supported by all compilers.
