## Simple Summary
|
|
|
|
To provide native bitwise shifting with cost on par with other arithmetic operations.
|
|
|
|
## Abstract
|
|
|
|
Native bitwise shifting instructions are introduced, which are more efficient processing wise on the host and are cheaper to use by a contract.
|
|
|
|
## Motivation
|
|
|
|
EVM is lacking bitwise shifting operators, but supports other logical and arithmetic operators. Shift operations can be implemented via arithmetic operators, but that has a higher cost and requires more processing time from the host. Implementing `SHL` and `SHR` using arithmetic cost each 35 gas, while the proposed instructions take 3 gas.
|
|
|
|
## Specification
|
|
|
|
The following instructions are introduced:
|
|
|
|
### `0x1b`: `SHL` (shift left)
|
|
|
|
The `SHL` instruction (shift left) pops 2 values from the stack, first `arg1` and then `arg2`, and pushes on the stack `arg2` shifted to the left by `arg1` number of bits. The result is equal to
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
(arg2 * 2^arg1) mod 2^256
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
- The value (`arg2`) is interpreted as an unsigned number.
|
|
- The shift amount (`arg1`) is interpreted as an unsigned number.
|
|
- If the shift amount (`arg1`) is greater or equal 256 the result is 0.
|
|
- This is equivalent to `PUSH1 2 EXP MUL`.
|
|
|
|
### `0x1c`: `SHR` (logical shift right)
|
|
|
|
The `SHR` instruction (logical shift right) pops 2 values from the stack, first `arg1` and then `arg2`, and pushes on the stack `arg2` shifted to the right by `arg1` number of bits with zero fill. The result is equal to
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
floor(arg2 / 2^arg1)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
- The value (`arg2`) is interpreted as an unsigned number.
|
|
- The shift amount (`arg1`) is interpreted as an unsigned number.
|
|
- If the shift amount (`arg1`) is greater or equal 256 the result is 0.
|
|
- This is equivalent to `PUSH1 2 EXP DIV`.
|
|
|
|
### `0x1d`: `SAR` (arithmetic shift right)
|
|
|
|
The `SAR` instruction (arithmetic shift right) pops 2 values from the stack, first `arg1` and then `arg2`, and pushes on the stack `arg2` shifted to the right by `arg1` number of bits with sign extension. The result is equal to
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
floor(arg2 / 2^arg1)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
- The value (`arg2`) is interpreted as a signed number.
|
|
- The shift amount (`arg1`) is interpreted as an unsigned number.
|
|
- If the shift amount (`arg1`) is greater or equal 256 the result is 0 if `arg2` is non-negative or -1 if `arg2` is negative.
|
|
- This is **not** equivalent to `PUSH1 2 EXP SDIV`, since it rounds differently. See `SDIV(-1, 2) == 0`, while `SAR(-1, 1) == -1`.
|
|
|
|
The cost of the shift instructions is set at `verylow` tier (3 gas).
|
|
|
|
## Rationale
|
|
|
|
Instruction operands were chosen to fit the more natural use case of shifting a value already on the stack. This means the operand order is swapped compared to most arithmetic insturctions.
|
|
|
|
## Backwards Compatibility
|
|
|
|
The newly introduced instructions have no effect on bytecode created in the past.
|
|
|
|
