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

Hi

I just wondered if the code

return (dtt_read(sensor, DTT_READ_TEMP) / 256);

would be result in a "shift by 8" or and interger division?

I believe that would depend on compiler, compiler optimization options and processor architecture. AFAIK, gcc will even replace multiplication with shift/add/subtract sequences on 486 (that does have multiply opcode) because it will be faster.
