<a href="ft2-basic_types.html#FT_Long">FT_Long</a> b,
<a href="ft2-basic_types.html#FT_Long">FT_Long</a> c );
</pre>
<p>A very simple function used to perform the computation &lsquo;(a*b)/c&rsquo; with maximum accuracy (it uses a 64-bit intermediate integer whenever necessary).</p>
<p>This function isn't necessarily as fast as some processor specific operations, but is at least completely portable.</p>
<h4>input</h4>

<tr><td class="val" id="a">a</td><td class="desc">

<tr><td class="val" id="c">c</td><td class="desc">

</td></tr>
</table>
<h4>return</h4>
<p>The result of &lsquo;(a*b)/c&rsquo;. This function never traps when trying to divide by zero; it simply returns &lsquo;MaxInt&rsquo; or &lsquo;MinInt&rsquo; depending on the signs of &lsquo;a&rsquo; and &lsquo;b&rsquo;.</p>

</pre>
<p>A very simple function used to perform the computation &lsquo;(a*b)/0x10000&rsquo; with maximum accuracy. Most of the time this is used to multiply a given value by a 16.16 fixed-point factor.</p>
<h4>input</h4>

<p>The first multiplier.</p>
</td></tr>
<tr><td class="val" id="b">b</td><td class="desc">
<p>The second multiplier. Use a 16.16 factor here whenever possible (see note below).</p>
</td></tr>
</table>
<h4>return</h4>
<p>The result of &lsquo;(a*b)/0x10000&rsquo;.</p>
<h4>note</h4>
<p>This function has been optimized for the case where the absolute value of &lsquo;a&rsquo; is less than 2048, and &lsquo;b&rsquo; is a 16.16 scaling factor. As this happens mainly when scaling from notional units to fractional pixels in FreeType, it resulted in noticeable speed improvements between versions 2.x and 1.x.</p>
<p>As a conclusion, always try to place a 16.16 factor as the <i>second</i> argument of this function; this can make a great difference.</p>
