I’m not a fan of concatenating strings either. I was thinking about the MSVC/Pascal-style inline assembly here, which isn’t based on strings. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think that you can guarantee a routine is constant-time by using intrinsics. You need asm for that. Asm that won’t be changed by the compiler. So you need to write an external asm file for that now, which is fair enough, but I just wouldn’t present intrinsics as all-around superior.
