(Responding to Preston's post regarding reduction in strength of constant
multiplications.)


I saw you post regarding constant multiplications on comp.compilers. I
was curious as to whether you have any ideas about divisons and remainders
by constants. Of course the powers of 2 are easy, but what about the more
interesting cases. There seems to be some confusion around here as to
whether there is any hope for these.
