AW: [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 sincerely hope NOT!

A = (B >> 2) - B = B/4 - B = -3/4 B

IMHO, divisions by non-powers of two cannot be achieved by simple shifts and adds/subtracts in one formula - you'd always need conditional jumps and loop constructs.
