- /* SYNOPSIS */
- AROS_LHA(LONG, arg1, D0),
- AROS_LHA(LONG, arg2, D1),
-
- /* LOCATION */
- struct UtilityBase *, UtilityBase, 23, Utility)
-
- /* FUNCTION
- Performs the signed 32-bit multiplication of arg1 * arg2 and
- returns a signed 32 bit value.
-
- INPUTS
- arg1, arg2 - 32 bit signed longs
-
- RESULT
- arg1 * arg2
-
- NOTES
- This can perform the multiplication either using the machines
- native instructions (if they exist), or in software using a
- simple algorithm based on expanding algebraic products.
-
- The utility.library math functions are unlike all other utility
- functions in that they don't require the library base to be
- loaded in register A6, and they also save the values of the
- address registers A0/A1.
-
- This function is mainly to support assembly programers, and is
- probably of limited use to higher-level language programmers.
-
- EXAMPLE
-
- LONG a = 352543;
- LONG b = -52464;
- LONG c = SMult32(a,b);
- c == -1315946768
-
- BUGS
- Of limited use to C programmers.

-
- INTERNALS
- May be handled by code in config/$(KERNEL), may not be...
- It is for m68k-native.
-
- For emulation we are performing the operation:
-
- (2^16 * a + b) * (2^16 * c + d)
- = 2^32 * ab + 2^16 * ad + 2^16 * bc + bd
- = 2^32 * ab + 2^16 ( ad + bc ) + bd
-
- Now since the result is a 32-bit number, the 2^32 term will have
- no effect. (Since 2^32 > max (32-bit number)), as will the
- high part of ad + bc.
-
- Therefore:
- product = 2^16( ad + bc ) + bd
