Not supplying that was intentional by Linus so that people think twice (or more often) before they using such expensive operations. A plain / looks too innocent. Is it really needed by CUBIC anyways? It uses it for getting the cubic root, but the algorithm recommended by Hacker's Delight (great book) doesn't use any divisions at all. Probably better to use a better algorithm without divisions. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
