Can anyone help me with my problem? I need to left rotate 64bit value stored in register pair (ex. EDX:EAX). I am just beginner in asm so this is out of my knowledge. Thanks.

If you need to rotate just by 1 bit, you can do it through carry:

Code:

bt eax,31 ; CF := the highest bit of EAX
rcl edx,1
rcl eax,1

To rotate by larger amount you'd have to use some intermediating register, perhaps with help of SHLD instruction.

So if i need to rotate by N bit, can i use cycle with rotation by 1 bit or can i rotate it at once?

Is it right?

rol64start:
mov ecx, 15 ; 15xrepeat

bt eax, 31
cycle_start:
rcl edx, 1

rcl eax, 1

loop cycle_start

No, you are duplicating one bit this way - you would have to put the BT instruction also inside the loop.

Also, assuming you've got the shift count in CL, you can it without loop using SHLD, something like:

Code:

shld ebx,edx,cl
shld edx,eax,cl
ror ebx,cl
shld eax,ebx,cl

with EBX as a temporary storage.
