Subject: patch: linux-2.6.4/lib/int_sqrt.c long aware
Date: Sat, 3 Apr 2004 13:16:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <S261690AbUDCLPo/20040403111544Z+2692@vger.kernel.org> (raw)

hi list,
this patch make int_sqrt() handle long properly. i tested it
on my alpha and i386. also some comparision again an alternativ int_sqrt() code.
The placement (and using) of 'tmp' is a bit odd but faster (on alpha, no matter on i386).

happy hacking,
walter

ps: i must use c&p so be aware of possible tab->space translations
