Nicholas Paldino commented on LUCENENET-232:
--------------------------------------------

Michael,

I advise against this because it reeks of premature optimization. JIT 
compilation will inline functions that it sees fit, and unless you have a 
performance test that shows that this implementation is affecting performance 
^that^ adversely, I would advise that you keep it in a method until it is 
determined that it is a performance issue.

> Inlining Unsigned Right Shift

>                 Key: LUCENENET-232
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENENET-232
>             Project: Lucene.Net
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>            Reporter: Michael Garski
>            Priority: Minor
>
> As .NET does not have an unisgned right shift operator (>>>) as Java does, 
> two overloads of SupportClass.Number.URShift exist to perform the operation 
> for longs and ints.  The original Java conversion spit out an incorrect 
> implementation:
> The converted implementation is:
> {code}
> if (number >= 0)
>     return number >> bits;
> else
>     return (number >> bits) + (2 << ~bits);
> {code}
> The correct implementation is:
> {code}
> (long)(((ulong)number) >> bits);
> {code}
> I submitted a patch for LUCENENET-230 that corrects the implementation, 
> however the shifting should be in-lined as opposed to broken out in a method 
> to remain performant.  This issue will cover the in-lining.
> I'm marking this as a minor improvement at this time as I have not measured 
> the performance impact.
