That's undefined behavior when n=0.
I think the portable way to do a rotate that avoids UB is the
following. GCC, Clang and ICC recognize the pattern, and emit a rotate
instruction.
static const unsigned int MASK=31;
return (v<<n)|(v>>(-n&MASK));
You should also avoid the following because its not constant time due
to the branch:
return n == 0 ? v : (v << n) | (v >> (sizeof(v) * 8 - n));
