Simplify year::is_leap().
Checks
Commit Message
The current implementation returns
(_M_y & (__is_multiple_of_100 ? 15 : 3)) == 0;
where __is_multiple_of_100 is calculated using an obfuscated algorithm which
saves one ror instruction when compared to _M_y % 100 == 0 [1].
In leap years calculation, it's mathematically correct to replace the
divisibility check by 100 with the one by 25. It turns out that
_M_y % 25 == 0 also saves the ror instruction [2]. Therefore, the
obfuscation is not required.
