Re: [avr-gcc-list] Problem With Call to Mulsi3

[Sean D'Epagnier]

I have some experimental work which has implemented mulhi3_highpart.
It is essentially a rule for gcc to use when multiplying two 16bit
integers and you only want the high 16bits.  It is also used by gcc to
generate really fast division by constants which aren't powers of 2
for 16bit integers (multiply and shift instead of divide)  Before I
added this rule, this optimization was never used.

Let me know if you would be willing to test my patch and develop its
features more and I would be glad to send you what I have.
