Counting the position of ones in a binary vector

I want to design a combinatorial circuit for an fpga which will count the position of ones in a 16 bit vector. eg1 if vector is 16'b0000_0000_0011_0101 then output should be 64'h0000_0000_0000_5...

It looks like Altera 'progresses' on VHDL support on each subsequent release. E.g. 9.1SP2 supports VHDL 2008 but only a subset, 10.1 supports a bit more, but not yet everything (not that we need everything ...). Maybe this also the case with VHDL-1993 support.
