#88235 - using chainsaw to perform dental surgery

Your code 'shift first' more suitable since it is more ASM like to me.

Your problem is that you are thinking in assembler, and trying to write assembler in 'C'.

Jon Ward of Keil puts it very aptly, "Your problem is that you are using a C compiler but you are writing assembly code. This is like using a chainsaw to perform dental surgery." (my emphasis).
