.Dd May 10, 2011 .Dt FAST_DIVIDE32 3 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm fast_divide32 , .Nm fast_divide32_prepare , .Nm fast_remainder32 .Nd fast 32bit division and remainder .Sh SYNOPSIS n sys/bitops.h .Ft uint32_t .Fn fast_divide32 "uint32_t v" "uint32_t div" "uint32_t m" "uint8_t s1" \ "uint8_t s2" .Ft uint32_t .Fn fast_remainder32 "uint32_t v" "uint32_t div" "uint32_t m" "uint8_t s1" \ "uint8_t s2" .Ft void .Fn fast_divide32_prepare "uint32_t div" "uint32_t *m" "uint8_t *s1" \ "uint8_t *s2" .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm fast_divide32 and .Nm fast_remainder32 functions compute the equivalent of .Fa v / Fa div and .Fa v % Fa div using optimised .Tn CPU instructions. The constants .Fa m , .Fa s1 , and .Fa s2 must first be preset for a given value of .Fa div with the .Nm fast_divide32_prepare function. .Sh RATIONALE These functions are useful for inner loops and other performance-sensitive tasks. The functions expand to code that is typically slightly larger than a plain division instruction, but requires less time to execute. The code for constant .Fa div arguments should be equivalent to the assembly created by .Tn GCC . .Sh EXAMPLES The following example computes .Va q = a / b and .Va r = a % b : d -literal -offset indent uint32_t a, b, q, r, m; uint8_t s1, s2; fast_divide32_prepare(b, &m, &s1, &s2); q = fast_divide32(a, b, m, s1, s2); r = fast_remainder32(a, b, m, s1, s2); .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr bitops 3 , .Xr div 3 , .Xr remainder 3 .Rs .%A Torbj\(:orn Granlund .%A Peter L.
