1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 | This module provides an implementation of ROTATE-BYTE, described at
<http://www.cliki.net/ROTATE-BYTE">. Its inclusion is hoped to
achieve two aims:
(1) to provide the necessary functionality for implementations of
cryptographic and hashing algorithms (e.g. MD5);
(2) to provide an example of the things that can be achieved by using
the external but unsupported interfaces to the compiler.
Included in the module as of 2003-02-11 is an efficient implementation
of unsigned 32-bit rotation for the x86; when the compiler can prove
that the rotation in question is of an (UNSIGNED-BYTE 32) over the
byte specifier (BYTE 32 0), it will compile directly to machine
rotation instructions. Patches for similar functionality on other
platforms are welcome.
