Fix the near-match (capstone)
Time to put the whole loop together. You inherited a function that's almost matching — someone wrote plausible-looking C, but the diff shows a single divergent instruction. Your job is to read the symptom and close the gap to 100%.
The target
<clear_flag>:
0: 54 63 06 6e rlwinm r3,r3,0,25,23
4: 4e 80 00 20 blr
rlwinm r3,r3,0,25,23 is a rotate-left-immediate-then-mask. Its operands are (dst, src, shift, MB, ME), and the mask is "every bit from position MB through ME set" (PowerPC numbers bits from the MSB, so bit 0 is 0x80000000 and bit 31 is 0x00000001). When MB > ME the run wraps around the end: here MB=25, ME=23 means bits 25..31 and bits 0..23 are set, leaving exactly bit 24 clear — and bit 24 (MSB-numbered) is the 0x80 bit in normal notation. So the mask is 0xFFFFFF7F. With a rotate of 0, the instruction just masks r3 with that pattern: it keeps every bit except bit 7 (the 0x80 bit). In other words: clear one specific bit.
The starter's symptom
The starter clears the same bit, but it spells the mask the "obvious" way — x & 0xff7f — and that's the bug. Compile the starter and you get:
<clear_flag>:
0: 70 63 ff 7f andi. r3,r3,65407
4: 4e 80 00 20 blr
First (and only) diverging instruction: andi. where the target has rlwinm. Same result numerically, different instruction. This is the "wrong idiom" row from the diagnosis table: a literal AND-immediate mask compiles to andi., but the original developer expressed it as clearing a single bit, which MWCC lowers to rlwinm.
The fix
Write the operation the way it was meant: not "AND with this magic number," but "clear the 0x80 bit." In C that's:
x & ~0x80
~0x80 is "all bits set except bit 7" — the same mask, but written as a single-bit clear. MWCC emits rlwinm for it, matching the target exactly.
Your task
Edit clear_flag so it compiles to rlwinm r3,r3,0,25,23 and blr — a 100% match. Change the mask idiom from & 0xff7f to a single-bit clear.
