/** \ingroup avr_string

    This macro finds the first (least significant) bit set in the
    input value.

    This macro is very similar to the function ffs() except that
    it evaluates its argument at compile-time, so it should only
    be applied to compile-time constant expressions where it will
    reduce to a constant itself.
    Application of this macro to expressions that are not constant
    at compile-time is not recommended, and might result in a huge
    amount of code generated.

    \returns The _FFS() macro returns the position of the first
    (least significant) bit set in the word val, or 0 if no bits are set.
    The least significant bit is position 1.  Only 16 bits of argument
    are evaluted.
