It's not optimal. Waste of performance.

32-bit case on 32-bit machine (similar to other cases on x86).

a) GENMASK(x - 1, 0) << y

        movl    $32, %ecx
        subb    4(%esp), %cl
        movl    $-1, %eax
        shrl    %cl, %eax
        movzbl  8(%esp), %ecx
        sall    %cl, %eax
        ret

b) GENMASK(x + y - 1, y)

        pushl   %esi
        pushl   %ebx
        movl    $1, %edx
        movzbl  12(%esp), %eax
        movzbl  16(%esp), %esi
        movl    $-1, %ebx
        subl    %eax, %edx
        movl    %ebx, %eax
        subl    %esi, %edx
        leal    31(%edx), %ecx
        shrl    %cl, %eax
        movl    %esi, %ecx
        sall    %cl, %ebx
        andl    %ebx, %eax
        popl    %ebx
        popl    %esi
        ret
