VectorAPI Constant Shift for Byte and Short Intrinsic Support

[Viswanathan, Sandhya]

Hi Shravya,

Could the following line in library_call.cpp be simplified using expression like (type2aelembytes(bt) * BitsPerByte - 1)?

7462   juint mask = (bt == T_LONG) ? (BitsPerLong - 1) : (bt == T_BYTE) ? (BitsPerByte - 1) : (bt == T_SHORT) ? (BitsPerShort - 1) : (BitsPerInt - 1);

Rest looks fine.

Thanks,
Sandhya

Hi All,

I would like to contribute a patch to add constant shifts support in Java for byte and short datatypes.



Could you please review the patch here:
