Re: Is there an easy way to scan for bits?

(I didn't know that an OMI C compiler existed)

You really can't leave out the omi, nmi factor.  OMI compilers produce MI
IRP, which is optimized based on a restrictive set of rules that inhibit
most/many classic optimizations.  ILE compilers produce w-code, which was
designed for consumption by optimizing back ends.  In terms of HLLs, I
think C is best suited for working with bits. (Java might work well, too.)

But enough on HLLs ... this is the MI400.

the C code to MI correct ?  Then the trusty translator translates the MI
IRP
code to risc code and optimizes it along the way.  Where would C get its
advantage from ?
