_rotr8, _rotr16
Microsoft Specific
Rotate the input values to the right to the least significant bit (LSB) by a specified number of bit positions.
unsigned char _rotr8(
unsigned char value,
unsigned char shift
);
unsigned short _rotr16(
unsigned short value,
unsigned char shift
);
Parameters
[in] value
The value to rotate.[in] shift
The number of bits to rotate.
Return Value
The rotated value.

Remarks
Unlike a right-shift operation, when executing a right rotation, the low order bits that fall off the low end are moved into the high order bit positions.
Example
// rotr.cpp
#include <stdio.h>
#include <intrin.h>
#pragma intrinsic(_rotr8, _rotr16)
int main()
{
unsigned char c = 'A', c1, c2;
for (int i = 0; i < 8; i+)
{
printf_s("Rotating 0x%x right by %d bits gives 0x%x\n", c,
i, _rotr8(c, i));
}
unsigned short s = 0x12;
int nBit = 10;
printf_s("Rotating unsigned short 0x%x right by %d bits "
"gives 0x%x\n",
s, nBit, _rotr16(s, nBit));
}
Rotating 0x41 right by 0 bits gives 0x41 Rotating 0x41 right by 1 bits gives 0xa0 Rotating 0x41 right by 2 bits gives 0x50 Rotating 0x41 right by 3 bits gives 0x28 Rotating 0x41 right by 4 bits gives 0x14 Rotating 0x41 right by 5 bits gives 0xa Rotating 0x41 right by 6 bits gives 0x5 Rotating 0x41 right by 7 bits gives 0x82 Rotating unsigned short 0x12 right by 10 bits gives 0x480
