Hi,

I formalized floating point numbers in Isabelle using integers. From
this fromalization I generate PolyML-code. A fast implementation needs
bit shift operations on integers. There are shift operations available
but they are not implemented very efficiently:

IntInf.sml:
| (* These could be implemented in the RTS although I doubt if it's
|    really worth it. *)
| fun << (i: int, j: Word.word) = i * pow(2, Word.toInt j)
| and ~>> (i: int, j: Word.word) = Int.div(i, pow(2, Word.toInt j))

How difficult is it to implement this operations efficiently in the RTS
on big integers?

 Johannes
