Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |jakub at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #3 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> --- I must say I don't understand the need for an extension here. The argument that there might not be a type twice as large as the largest you've made in the high part multiply case (which doesn't make much sense anyway, because I assume the reason you want that is that it is fast and that will only be the case if it is at most word * word -> highpart of doubleword and in that case you always have a type for the doubleword (__int128 for 64-bit, long long for 32-bit)) doesn't apply here, you need to have the double word value to divide. So IMNSHO you should just write long foo (__int128_t a, long b) { return a / b; } or similar and if the HW has instruction for such a divide, it can use it.
