There are much faster ways to count the number of set bits, especially
if you might need to check a significant number of bits.
There might even be a function defined somewhere to do it.
Basically you just add up the bits, for 16 bit it would be:
val = (val & 0x5555) + (val >> 1) & 0x5555;
val = (val & 0x3333) + (val >> 2) & 0x3333;
val = (val & 0x0f0f) + (val >> 4) & 0x0f0f;
val = (val & 0x00ff) + (val >> 8) & 0x00ff;
As the size of the work increases the improvement is more significant.
(Some of the later masking can probably be proven unnecessary.)
