It would be nice to have a binary shift

[infratec]

Up to now I never needed an arithmetic shift.
I always need a binary shift.

So it would be nice to have such a function available.

I never needed an arithmetic shift. Logical shift was always needed, but PB doesn't support it, so I wrote the code in assembler.

We need something like that :

Code: Select all

a = 1
n = 2

o = a Or (1 << n)

Debug o

Only working in conditional logic ...

Yes +1 but what we really need is unsigned types then the compiler can choose between logical and arithmetic shift based on the type
easy for the c backend as you only need to cast required variables to unsigned
and for asm backend I think this is all that's required to enable unsigned

However it works like this :

Code: Select all

a = 1
n = 2

o = a | (1 << n)

Debug o

there is separate from the | and Or
