findMSB - OpenGL ES 3.2 Reference Pages

## Name

findMSB — find the index of the most significant bit set to 1 in an integer

## Declaration

`genIType findMSB(` | genIType value`)`;

`genIType findMSB(` | genUType value`)`;

## Parameters

`value`

  Specifies the value whose bits to scan.

## Description

`findMSB` returns the bit number of the most significant bit that is set to 1 in the binary representation of `value`. For positive integers, the result will be the bit number of the most significant bit that is set to 1. For negative integers, the result will be the bit number of the most significant bit set to 0. For a `value` of zero or negative 1, -1 will be returned.
