Message-ID: <uae4oomya.fsf@gsfc.nasa.gov> (raw)

I'm porting GNAT to a 16 bit microprocessor that does not provide a
hardware instruction for unsigned divide (it has multiply and signed
divide, both 16 and 32 bit). Can anyone provide a reference to a book
that discusses how to do this, and/or an algorithm that does it? I've
looked in Knuth, and did an initial web search, and haven't found
anything.
