A long time ago ... in a land far away :) I did some assembler programming on the Acorn Archimedes (ARM 2/3) and worked out a series of additions and subtractions that would perform very fast multiplication of awkward numbers by known amounts.
Is there any point in doing this for C programs, or are modern compilers sophisticated enough to do such things themselves?

Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
