- The <code class="literal">boost::static_log2</code> class template takes one template
- parameter, a value of type <code class="literal">static_log2_argument_type</code>.
- The template only defines one member, <code class="literal">value</code>, which gives
- the truncated, base-two logarithm of the template argument.
- </p>
- <p>
- Since the logarithm of zero, for any base, is undefined, there is a specialization
- of <code class="literal">static_log2</code> for a template argument of zero. This specialization
- has no members, so an attempt to use the base-two logarithm of zero results
- in a compile-time error.

- The base-two (binary) logarithm, abbreviated lb, function is occasionally
- used to give order-estimates of computer algorithms. The truncated logarithm
- can be considered the highest power-of-two in a value, which corresponds
- to the value's highest set bit (for binary integers). Sometimes the highest-bit
- position could be used in generic programming, which requires the position
- to be available statically (<span class="emphasis"><em>i.e.</em></span> at compile-time).

- The original version of the Boost binary logarithm class template was written
- by <a href="http://www.boost.org/people/daryle_walker.html" target="_top">Daryle Walker</a>
- and then enhanced by Giovanni Bajo with support for compilers without partial
- template specialization. The current version was suggested, together with
- a reference implementation, by Vesa Karvonen. Gennaro Prota wrote the actual
- source file.
