Go up one level in this thread
I have tested this routine (find bit and remove it) in Green Light, but it
appears to be slower than the current routine I am using. I guess this must be
because the BSF and BTR instructions are slow on my Athlon XP 1.46Gz. It may
also be because, for instance, when generating moves for white, most of the
pieces will be in the low DWORD, and most of the moves will be made to the low
DWORD, so I think that in general my routine will correctly predict the branch,
and will take the short route through the code.
I tested in the initial chess position, and a recent middlegame position posted
in CCC ([d] 4r1k1/qp1r1p2/2pb1Bp1/p6p/2PP1n1R/1P3P2/P4P2/2Q2K1R w)

Cheers, Tim.
BTW, here is the code from my current routine :)
inline Square BitScanForwardRemove( UINT64& bitmap )
{
__asm
{
mov ebx, [bitmap]
mov edx, 1
bsf ecx, [ebx]
mov eax, 0
jnz found
bsf ecx, [ebx + 4]
mov eax, 32
lea ebx, [ebx + 4]
jnz found
mov eax, XX
jmp done
found:
shl edx, cl
add eax, ecx
xor [ebx], edx
done:
}
// value returned in eax
}
Cheers, Tim.
