SAR?

[Stonemonkey]

Is there any way to do SAR without resorting to asm?

Cheers,

If you're working with signed values it does arithmetic shifts automatically.
ie

Code Select Expand


#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
  int a=0x80000000;
  a = a >> 16;
  printf("%d %08X\n", a, a);
  return 0;
}

gives

-32768 0xFFFF8000
