I don't think Linux runs on a system where it would make a difference (like a VAX), and also gcc always converts it before it could. Even UBSan should not complain because it runs after the conversion to ROTATE. So it's unlikely to be a pressing issue. -Andi -- a...@linux.intel.com -- Speaking for myself only. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
