A very simple function used to perform the computation `(a*0x10000)/b' with maximal accuracy. Most of the time, this is used to divide a given value by a 16.16 fixed float factor.
Input:
a :: The first multiplier.
b :: The second multiplier. Use a 16.16 factor here whenever possible (see note below). A very simple function used to perform the computation `(a*0x10000)/b' with maximal accuracy. Most of the time, this is used to divide a given value by a 16.16 fixed float factor.
Input:
a :: The first multiplier.
b :: The second multiplier. Use a 16.16 factor here whenever possible (see note below).
Notes: The optimization for FT_DivFix() is simple: If (a << 16) fits in 32 bits, then the division is computed directly. Otherwise, we use a specialized version of the old FT_MulDiv64(). FT_EXPORT( FT_Long ) FT_DivFix( FT_Long a, FT_Long b );
The result of `(a*0x10000)/b'.
