Dear Freepascalers,
The multiplication in floating arthmetic units is usualy know as being slower than the addition. So, have
I interest to code X+X, 2*X or X*2 when using reals (mainly double and extended) ?And with integers ?
Can the compiler optimise this operation choosing the fastest one - probably depending on the
architecture x86, arm, aso.
Cheers, Raoul
