Re: [U-Boot-Users] Compiler question: integer division?

How about

a = b / 5;

Will that result in

a = (b >> 2) - b;

, i.e. still no division but only shift operations?

I must be missing something here, because as far as I can see, the shift/substract combination above does not yield the same result as dividing by 5.

Using b=40 for example:

b/5 -> 8 (b >> 2) - b -> -30
