Thanks for giving a reply Akinobu :-)
I forgot that bitrev8() is static in header file. Sorry for that.

Below is my new patch considering this. Cant it be applicable?
Please review it.

I know that my bitrev8() takes more instructions than that
of yours. But we have to think about faster access of cpu cache over that
of memory cache(which your bit_rev_table uses).

I didn't review your patch, sorry.
But I'm pretty sure that your patch won't be considered unless you
provide benchmarks
with numbers for different CPU/architecture.
Ideally you should provide a script to test the correctness and the
performance of your
change that anyone could run on his computer.

Thanks Benoit for giving me such a precious advice. But sorry, I dont
have any benchmarking system in my hand(how can i have? i am just a
student, not a professional).
So if you do me a favour and kindly do it for me, please :-)

Anyway thanks again.

Soumya
