The problem with CISC is that it gives assembler users a near infinite pit of clever tricks with which to consume their time. Though for what it's worth on RV*C you might use. c.add t1, t0 c.slli t0, 1 c.add t0, t1 or someatt, if you were trying to be clever (though it may not gain you anything). It'd give you two whole instruction bytes to do what you were going to do with t0 before you hit another alignment boundary, or maybe it's a0 and your last instruction is a c.jr x1! Ambition is the mother of depravity.
