Improved bAND, bOR, bXOR

[boriel]

I can't offhand see how this code could be optimised further, honestly. I'd be curious and intrigued to see what clever tricks could be pulled, though.

Well, I didn't explain clearly: because they are PART OF the language; the code is the same (bitwise operations will be straighforward). So the code is placed *inline*, so no function call, no push/pop sequence (whenever possible), and availability for all integer types. :!: (8, 16 and 32 bits). :wink:

There will be also a XOR logical operator, so this:

Code:

IF (a < b) AND NOT(b < c) OR NOT (a < b) AND (b < c) THEN [...] END IF

can be written as:

Code:

IF (a < b) XOR (b < c) THEN [...] END IF

which will be faster, shorter and take less memory.
So the language will be completely orthogonal.
