From 04edd688b3727835f9b2c7cca7e4c963bf3ed2ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bernd Edlinger Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2019 21:26:19 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Add value_barriers in constant time select functions The barriers prevent the compiler from narrowing down the possible value range of the mask and ~mask in the select statements, which avoids the recognition of the select and turning it into a conditional load or branch.
