[LLVMdev] rotate
...ough I haven't tried it on a recent
clang version) and what I wondered was whether there was mileage in having
an explicit intrinsic for rotation (like there is for bit counting, as in
__builtin_clz and __builtin_ctz and so on). Microsoft's compiler has an
explicit intrinsic in the form of _rotl8 and _rotl16 (IIRC -- this is from
memory!). It would be nice to have a __builtin_rotl family in clang, in
my opinion, but it would need back-end support from llvm. I would expect
it to find use in code relating to hashing and cryptology. I know that
the compiler *should* optimise

[LLVMdev] rotate
*NOTE* IIRC compiling this with -O0 on x86-64 can yield the wrong result since clang will emit shifts and on intel shifts are mod the register size:
=====
.section __TEXT,__text,regular,pure_instructions
.globl _ror
.align 4, 0x90
_ror: ## @ror
.cfi_startproc
## BB#0:
pushq %rbp
Ltmp2:
.cfi_def_cfa_offset 16
Ltmp3:
.cfi_offset %rbp, -16
movq %rsp, %rbp
