By checking the LeaderBoard, I learnt a beautiful SegTree solution:

class Node
{
public:
    int bit;        // 0\1: bits[left, right] are all 0\1; 
                //  -1: bits[left, right] are not same
    int left, right;   // range: bits[left, right]
};

Each node takes in charge of a range of bits, and records bits values of the range. And we update\query bits of sum upon this SegTree.. Neat!
