question regarding div / std::div implementation

[Daniel Gutson]

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.
