The first step can be implemented slightly better:

unsigned int res = w-((w>>1)&0x55555555);

as I found once on the web[1].

Several of the following steps can also be simplified
by omitting the masking when the result can't possibly
cause a carry to propagate too far.

This might also have a non negligible impact
on code size.

	Regards,

[1] It might be better to write the first line 

	unsigned res = w - ((w&0xaaaaaaaa)>>1);

but I can never remember what the C standard guarantess about 
right shifts values (very little IIRC). I believe that it will
work properly on all architectures that GCC supports, however,
and that it will help on many.
