Codegen: Compact BigNum: missing shift and other operations #3060

Open crusso opened 2 years ago

crusso commented 2 years ago

The compact bignum implementation is missing shift operations that would be useful to implement some of the code for the cycles primitives (and exposing shift operators in Motoko).

We currently workaround this using slower division.

The libtommath library we use provides these, so it shouldn’t be too hard, and indeed would make a good starter project.
