As we talked about before; is this really correct? !is_power_of_2(0) ==
true while (0 & (0-1)) == 0.
    
size == 0 is also covered by the next two conditions, so the overall value
does not change.
  
Yes, but is it meant to state that 'size' is not a power of two? 
Otherwise, imho, it should be left as-is.
