Subject: [INET] Avoid an integer divide in rt_garbage_collect()
Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2007 09:20:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <476B7762.30908@cosmosbay.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 189 bytes --]
Since 'goal' is a signed int, compiler may emit an integer divide
to compute goal/2.
Using a right shift is OK here and less expensive.
