Apologies, Jonas; I hope I didn't come off as condescending or rude in
that last e-mail - I was joking because while my algorithm is faster, a
few nanoseconds probably isn't going to cut it in the grand scheme of
things!
I got my code to work, treating "magic add" in the same way as the
exist
Well, I think you might be right on this one, Jonas!
I've tested my algorithm against the one used in the compiler. It's 5
times faster when used with small divisors (so loop iterations are
minimal)... but that amounts to about 15 nanoseconds compared to 75
nanoseconds! Additionally, it treat

Hi everyone,
Before I go optimising the wrong thing, I have a question to ask.
What's the policy on platform-specific assembly language in the
compiler, or any code designed to run on a specific (source) platform
(and using a more generic implementation otherwise via $ifdef)? I ask
because
