| Nov 5, 2023 at 2:22 | comment | added | Mecki | "In the future you might well...". This already happens today: Implementing a bit rotate using bit shifting results in an internal rotate call on all relevant compilers. The thing only is: Using the built-in extension directly guarantees you that it is used instead of having to hope for the best and that the compiler will understand your code. If I tell you you can get $1000 right now, guaranteed or you can fill out a form and maybe that will get you $1000, which option would you take? | |
