Hi,
is there any reason that std::div / cstdlib div is not implemented
in such a way that it is expanded to
the assembly instruction -when available- that calculates both the
remainder and the quotient,
e.g. x86' div ?
For example, why not an inline function with inline assembly? Or,
should this require a gcc built-in?
Thanks,
Daniel.
