I think, built-ins may cover all basic algorithms which pure C
implementation is very very complex (count of bits, odd/even...) but in
assembler is very simple. Moreover, in most cases these functions should be
inline, because call prepare+prolog+epilog of function some time took same
number of res
If the current policy aims to have standard library functions written
exclusively in C, then I would consider it not especially useful to have
such functions. If a developer is going to use such things, then they're
probably going to be doing so in code that needs to be performant (e.g.
hashing
Hi Philipp,
generally I don't need much of bit manipulation apart from setting,
clearing and reading bits - and these are easily done with bitmasks. So
for me(!) I don't see the need for such functions. Sorry!
