[fpc-pascal] Reversing bit-order of byte

[David Butler]

If you want to go assembly:

function ReverseBits(const Value: LongWord): LongWord; register; assembler;
asm
      BSWAP   EAX
      MOV     EDX, EAX
      AND     EAX, 0AAAAAAAAh
      SHR     EAX, 1
      AND     EDX, 055555555h
      SHL     EDX, 1
      OR      EAX, EDX
      MOV     EDX, EAX
      AND     EAX, 0CCCCCCCCh
      SHR     EAX, 2
      AND     EDX, 033333333h
      SHL     EDX, 2
      OR      EAX, EDX
      MOV     EDX, EAX
      AND     EAX, 0F0F0F0F0h
      SHR     EAX, 4
      AND     EDX, 00F0F0F0Fh
      SHL     EDX, 4
      OR      EAX, EDX
end;
