I second that. Not the most useful thing in the world, but you might want to consider integer_log2.hpp and lowest_bit.hpp from the pending/ directory.
Would Boost.Integer's static_log2 go there too, then? ( http://boost.org/libs/integer/doc/static_log2.html )
Not sure. As you can see, integer_log2 and lowest_bit are not "algorithms" in a strict sense, but they come handy to implement many of them (for instance dynamic_bitset<> bit searching). Maybe all three templates should be in the integer library and, as an implementation detail, be used for some algorithm implementations. As I said they are no rocket science but it's a pity that they are in the pending/ directory (as other useful code), where they mostly get unnoticed. -- [ Gennaro Prota, C++ developer for hire ]
