Bit reversal of an integer, ignoring integer size and endianness

Question

Given an integer typedef:

typedef unsigned int TYPE;

or

typedef unsigned long TYPE;

I have the following

Answer 1

Here is a variation and correction to TK's solution which might be clearer than the solutions by sundar. It takes single bits from t and pushes them into return_val:

typedef unsigned long TYPE;
#define TYPE_BITS sizeof(TYPE)*8

TYPE reverser(TYPE t)
{
    unsigned int i;
    TYPE return_val = 0
    for(i = 0; i < TYPE_BITS; i++)
    {/*foreach bit in TYPE*/
        /* shift the value of return_val to the left and add the rightmost bit from t */
        return_val = (return_val << 1) + (t & 1);
        /* shift off the rightmost bit of t */
        t = t >> 1;
    }
    return(return_val);
}
