ggidev-lshift_3(3) Bitwise triple-int operations

Other Alias

ggidev-invert_3, ggidev-rshift_3

SYNOPSIS


#include <ggi/internal/triple-int.h>
unsigned *invert_3(unsigned x[3]);
unsigned *lshift_3(unsigned l[3], unsigned r);
unsigned *rshift_3(unsigned l[3], unsigned r);

DESCRIPTION

invert_3 inverts all bits of x. Equivalent to x=~x.

lshift_3 shifts l to the left by r bits. Equivalent to l<<=r.

rshift_3 shifts l to the right by r bits. This shift is arithmetic, so the sign of l is kept as is. Equivalent to l>>=r.

RETURN VALUE

invert_3 returns a pointer to x which has been updated in place.

Both lshift_3 and rshift_3 return a pointer to l which has been updated in place.

EXAMPLES

Some bitwise operations on triple-ints:

unsigned x[3];
assign_int_3(x, -4);
invert_3(x);     /* x is now 3 */
lshift_3(x, 42); /* x is now 3*2^42, if that fits in a triple-int */
rshift_3(x, 17); /* x is now 3*2^25 */
