Your test program doesn't provide for an output so that
correctness can be verified.


It's unusual for a Fortran program to count the least significant
bit as bit 1.  The model for integer data considers it to be
bit 0.


I would say that with the traditional 1 origin arrays that
it makes some sense to use 1 for the LSB.  In mine I return
0 for the case of no zero bits.
