The trick for swapping two values without extra storage and without a dedicated swap instruction by three XORs is reasonably well known.If you want to rotate N values, you can just do this as a sequence of swaps which under these constraints means 3(N-1) XORs. Is there a cheaper sequence of XORs? If so, what's the asymptotic bound?
