[Lightning] Shift instructions

[Mike Spivey]

Dear Paolo and all,

Attached is a program that attempts to compute (-16) << 2.  The result
should be -64, but -16 is printed on i386.

I've tried a number of combinations, but haven't quite tracked down the
problem yet:

* Use JIT_R1 instead of JIT_V0 throughout --> fixed.

* Insert jit_movi_i(JIT_R1, 3); before the shift instruction (but leave
instruction referring to JIT_V0) --> result is -128.

* Use a jit_mulr_i instruction instead of the shift --> correct result.

* Use jit_lshi_i instead of jit_lshr_i --> correct result.

So it looks like the problem concerns putting the shift amount into the
ECX register before the actual shift instruction.

I am sorry to be always the bearer of bad tidings, but there it is!  Can
anything be done?

Best wishes,

-- Mike

     jit_ret();
