The point was to consolidate the three shift methods shift
, __lshift__
, and __rshift__
by having shift
do all the work and the other two call it. (Right now there's significant code triplication going on.)
The attached patch does this.

I'm ccing the participants in the discussion at #4965 in case they had something else in mind.

The only issue I can see is the potential performance overhead.
Vanilla 4.2.1:
sage: P.<x> = GF(2)[] sage: f = P.random_element(50) sage: %timeit f<<50 1000000 loops, best of 3: 792 ns per loop
This patch:
sage: P.<x> = GF(2)[] sage: f = P.random_element(50) sage: %timeit f<<50 1000000 loops, best of 3: 952 ns per loop
Maybe a cdef method could be added which everyone (shift
, __lshift__
, __rshift__
) calls?

Doctests pass btw., applies cleanly etc.

Alex and I were discussing this off-list. The speedup patch does the following:
- added a new C function which all methods call now
- I inlined it
- and I changed the code to avoid some initialisation
Here is what I got:
Vanilla:
sage: P.<x> = GF(2)[] sage: f = P.random_element(50) sage: %timeit f<<50 1000000 loops, best of 3: 730 ns per loop
Patch:
sage: P.<x> = GF(2)[] sage: f = P.random_element(50) sage: %timeit f<<50 1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.06 µs per loop
Patch + Speed-up:
sage: P.<x> = GF(2)[] sage: %timeit f<<50 1000000 loops, best of 3: 761 ns per loop
So there is still some overhead, but I think its acceptable.

- Report Upstream set to N/A
- Status changed from needs_review to positive_review
So I believe that Martin gave a positive review to my patch, except for the performance issue.
I have read and tested his patch, and I'm happy with it.

3.4 is for ReST tickets only.
