From 409516a92418169e30e8f65ea71c9c6fba5e86fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sasha Levin Date: Thu, 3 Dec 2015 22:04:01 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] bitops.h: correctly handle rol32 with 0 byte shift ROL on a 32 bit integer with a shift of 32 or more is undefined and the result is arch-dependent. Avoid this by handling the trivial case of roling by 0 correctly. The trivial solution of checking if shift is 0 breaks gcc's detection of this code as a ROL instruction, which is unacceptable. This bug was reported and fixed in GCC (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57157): The standard rotate idiom, (x << n) | (x >> (32 - n)) is recognized by gcc (for concreteness, I discuss only the case that x is an uint32_t here). However, this is portable C only for n in the range 0 < n < 32. For n == 0, we get x >> 32 which gives undefined behaviour according to the C standard (6.5.7, Bitwise shift operators). To portably support n == 0, one has to write the rotate as something like (x << n) | (x >> ((-n) & 31)) And this is apparently not recognized by gcc. Note that this is broken on older GCCs and will result in slower ROL.
