Luigi,

# But i was wondering if there is some simpler code which
# can still be computed as a compile-time constant?

Is this requirement non-negotiable? Maybe in the days of C99
and run-time sized arrays it's worth thinking about other solutions
than CPP magic.

For this and other bit twiddling hacks in C (mostly functional), see
