The lcc-win compiler system uses this:

Let us not forget that the lcc-win compiler system does not conform to
ISO/IEC 9899:1999, which you have said this very morning is "standard C".
So you're advocating a non-conforming compiler system.

This needs 32 bit maths as you see. I think it could be ported to 16
bits by making the result mod 2^16 -1

Yes, it can. Unfortunately, this gives the result 32767 on every call. Time

Put your own house in order before complaining about other people.
