I can get clang/llvm to emit a rotate instruction on x86-64 when compiling C by just using -Os and the rotate from Hacker's Delight i.e., ====== #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdint.h> uint32_t ror(uint32_t input, size_t rot_bits) { return (input >> rot_bits) | (input << ((sizeof(input) << 3) - rot_bits)); } ====== Then compile with (assuming you are on OS X): ====== ISYSROOT=$(xcodebuild -sdk macosx -version PlatformPath)/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk $(xcrun -find clang) -isysroot $ISYSROOT ror.c -c...

in C or C++, how can I get clang/llvm to try and do a "rotate". (want to test this code in the mips16 port) i.e. emit rotr node. tia. reed

...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 uint32_t ror(uint32_t input, size_t rot_bits) { return (input >> rot_bits) | (input << ((sizeof(input) << 3) - rot_bits)); } and such macros / inline functions are common, but an intrinsic specifies intent better and could provide for better code optimisation. Would this be worthwhile pursuing? Cheers Andy

Andy, Here is the left circular shift operator patch. I apologize to the reviewer in advance. The patch has a good bit of fine detail. Any comments/criticisms? Some caveats... 1) This is just the bare minimum needed to make the left circular shift operator work (e.g. no instruction combining). 2) I tried my best to select operator names in the existing style; please feel free to change them as
