How to use MSVC intrinsics to get the equivalent of this GCC code?

by

Bouncing from sh0dan code, the implementation should be corrected like this :

#ifdef _MSC_VER
#include <intrin.h>

uint32_t __inline ctz( uint32_t value )
{
    DWORD trailing_zero = 0;

    if ( _BitScanForward( &trailing_zero, value ) )
    {
        return trailing_zero;
    }
    else
    {
        // This is undefined, I better choose 32 than 0
        return 32;
    }
}

uint32_t __inline clz( uint32_t value )
{
    DWORD leading_zero = 0;

    if ( _BitScanReverse( &leading_zero, value ) )
    {
       return 31 - leading_zero;
    }
    else
    {
         // Same remarks as above
         return 32;
    }
}
#endif

As commented in the code, both ctz and clz are undefined if value is 0. In our abstraction, we fixed __builtin_clz(value) as (value?__builtin_clz(value):32) but it’s a choice
