x86rotl.b

LBT intrinsic · group: x86 Shift

Synopsis

Instruction: x86rotl.b rj, rk
CPU Flags: LBT

Description

x86-style rotate left: rotate 8-bit value in rj left by the amount specified in rk. Update CF, OF (for shift count of 1). Only EFLAGS (LBT4) is updated; the GPR is not modified.

Operation

uint8_t v = (uint8_t)a;
unsigned c = (unsigned)(b & 0x1f);
unsigned n = c % 8;
uint8_t r = (uint8_t)((v << n) | (v >> (8 - n)));
EFLAGS.CF = ((v >> ((8 - n) % 8)) & 1);
if (c == 1) {
  EFLAGS.OF = ((v ^ r) & 0x80) != 0;
}

Tested on real machine.
