In C when you do something like this:
char var = 1;
while(1)
{
var = var << 1;
}
In the 8th iteration the "<<" operator will shift out the 1 and var will be 0. I need to perform a shift in order to mantain the bit shifting. In other words I need this:
initial ----- 00000001
1st shift -- 00000010
2nd shift - 00000100
3rd shift - 00001000
4th shift - 00010000
5th shift -- 00100000
6th shift -- 01000000
7th shift - 10000000
8th shift - 00000001 (At the 8th shift the one automatically start again)
Is there something equivalent to "<<" but to achieve this?
