#libstdcxx
Raymond Chen's June 2026 series on The Old New Thing exposed a surprising fact: libstdc++ and libc++ implement std::rotate with completely different algorithms. libstdc++ swaps left-to-right and ends at n-1 swaps with good locality. libc++ decomposes the rotation into gcd(a, n) cycles and hits ~n/2 swaps but with poor locality. Which is faster depends entirely on your input shape.
