The __popcnt64 intrinsic isn't supported on 32-bit Windows, so __popcnt should be used instead.

See also https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/intrinsics/popcnt16-popcnt-popcnt64?view=msvc-170.


IMO, ideally we should use stdc_count_ones (see here and WG14 N3220). But it will take a long long while until C23 will become popular enough.

Gently ping @asg017. Can we merge this?
