Take this code: #include <cstdint> using type = std::uint32_t; type foo(type v){ type r = (v << 24) & 0xFF000000; r += (v << 8) & 0x00FF0000; r += (v >> 8) & 0x0000FF00; r += (v >> 24) & 0x000000FF; return r; } CLang assembler output: ( optimize with -O2 ) mov eax, edi bswap eax ret GCC master assembler output: ( optimize with -O2 ) mov eax, edi mov edx, edi shr eax, 24 sal edx, 24 add edx, eax mov eax, edi shr edi, 8 sal eax, 8 and edi, 65280 and eax, 16711680 add eax, edx add eax, edi ret
