Hi,
Thank you for implementation.
Is that true, that you can not detect word and byte size on division by constant? Squeezing in 32 bit register it would make byte-code shorter, not necessarily faster.

My bad, I didn't know about volatile intrinsic.
So, does it mean that compiler is allowed to
optimize any variable, even promote
As i understand this idea is another way around key word "volatile" in order to allow compiler perform more optimization.
Then why to go half way introducing "safe", when it's better introduce "volatile". Not too long ago here was discussion about it, but it was strongly rejected by core team.
