Could it be because of some patents that made it impossible to do it properly?

Could it be because of some patents that made it impossible to do it properly?
- nickik 6y agoNo. The just don't share the opinions. RISC-V is designed to go from the smallest possible core to high performance compute. Bit instructions will be in the 'B' extension.
- bumblebritches5 6y agoUmm, Unicode decoding/encoding REQUIRES bitwise operators to work... Not including that in the core ISA is a monumental mistake.
- ThrowawayR2 6y agoBitwise rotation instructions date back to at least the PDP-8. Even if they were patentable, the patents would have expired long ago.
