Hi!
This concerns multiple character integer constants, e.g.
'abcd'
as discussed in the C99 standard in subsection 6.4.4.4.
We'll call them multichars.
First: everybody agrees multichars are non-portable and therefore to
be avoided.
That said, there are real-life situations where they

Hi,
I run some tests of simple number-crunching loops whenever new
architectures and compilers arise.
These tests on recent Intel architectures show similar performance
between gcc and icc compilers, at full optimization.
However a recent test on x86_64 showed the open64 compiler
outstripping
(although I knew there
are various other issues.)
Cheers!

Nevermind icc for the moment, with whatever trick it may be doing.

Why is the SSE2 division so slow, compared to multiplication?
Change one character in the division test to make a multiplication test.
It is an order of magnitude difference in speed.
Try it yourself!
Thanks!
