How can this variable become 0?

I'm assuming he's talking about the value after : in the ? operator.

I am checking for the wrong thing in the if statement. We will have to
check for the return value of fls() before performing the shift.
I can change it and send a v3 if you agree.

Please let me know.

thanks,

What false branch?

I don't see how this can ever be an issue in "the real world", can you
explain how it could ever be a problem?

Condition x, taking false branch
Explicitly returning zero

static __always_inline int fls(unsigned int x)
{
return x ? sizeof(x) * 8 - __builtin_clz(x) : 0;
