_poppar, POPPAR - Computes bit population parity

As shipped in IRIX 6.5.22. Last changed in IRIX 6.5.19.

NAME
     _poppar, POPPAR - Computes bit population parity

SYNOPSIS
     C/C++:

     #include <intrinsics.h>
     int _poppar (long i);

     Fortran:

     POPPAR ([I=]i)

STANDARDS
     C/C++ extension

     Fortran extension

DESCRIPTION
   C/C++
     The _poppar function returns 0 if the argument i has an even number of
     bits that are set to 1.  This is the parity of the population count
     for argument i.

   Fortran
     This intrinsic function computes the bit population parity and returns
     an integer value.  It accepts the following argument:

     i    A Boolean, integer, real, or Cray pointer value.  i cannot be
          declared as REAL(KIND=16).

     POPPAR is an elemental function.  The name of this intrinsic cannot be
     passed as an argument.

   C/C++
     Because _poppar is an intrinsic function, no externally visible
     library function is available for it.  The compiler generates inline
     code to produce the result.

FORTRAN RETURN VALUES
     In Fortran, POPPAR returns the value 0 if an even number of bits in i
     are set.  It returns the value 1 if an odd number of bits are set in
     i.

     The return value is of type integer.

EXAMPLES
     The following section of Fortran code shows the POPPAR function used
     with an argument of type integer.  The bit pattern of the argument and
     the value of the result are also given.  For simplicity, a 16-bit
     object is used.

          INTEGER I1, I2
          ...
          I2 = POPPAR(I1)


           ---------------------------------------------------------------
          | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
           ---------------------------------------------------------------
                                        I1

     The POPPAR function returns the value 0 to the integer variable I2.
