Any integer divide by constant can be replaced by a sequence of
multiply, shift, and add

Because C may be compil
Hello,
Apologies if this has already been covered; I've searched the archives
and not found anything.
I have some code that needs to perform signed division by a power of two
with rounding towards minus infinity, i.e. it requires an arithmetic
right shift. Now in the C specification, right shift
