A discovery about GCC's unidirectional rotation algorithm

  • The gcc libstdc++ rotation algorithm is the same as the forward-iterator algorithm despite appearing different.
  • Both algorithms produce identical results when rotating blocks, such as swapping A1, A2, A3 with B4 and B5, though the new algorithm is symmetric and may swap from right to left.
  • A notable similarity is highlighted, and a typo is noted in the original text where 'B4' is repeated.
