调研方向

从 ieee::sig::div 任意精度除法实现入手,检查现有的 "from decimal" 基准测试是否覆盖相关情况。在更改实现之前添加基准测试,然后评估针对常用除数的 const-generic 特化。完成的标准是保持除法行为不变,并且基准测试显示出有意义的速度提升。

由索引模型根据 Issue 内容生成。

描述

The main implementation of the ieee::sig::div "arbitrary-precision division" function could be made into a separate function with a const SPECIALIZE_FOR_KNOWN_DIVISOR: u128 const-generic parameter, which it would use as such:

// The parameter being `0` is like `None` - could use `Option<NonZeroU128>` in the future.
if SPECIALIZE_FOR_KNOWN_DIVISOR != 0 {
    assert_eq!(divisor[0], SPECIALIZE_FOR_KNOWN_DIVISOR);
    assert!(is_all_zeros(&divisor[1..]));
}

(Hopefully this is enough for the rest of the body to be specialized by LLVM, but it can be further forced if necessary)

Then ieee::sig::div would become a "dispatch" fn, which invokes N+1 different instantiations of the const-generic implementation, for N "commonly used divisors" (10 comes to mind, tho there may be a whole sequence of powers of 5 for the conversion from decimal strings IIRC), and one 0 instantiation (which isn't specialized at all), and because the code still does the same division, we're only relying on the optimizer to actually turn the divisions into multiplications.


Whatever we do to the division algorithm, we shouldn't forget to add benchmarks first (unless the "from decimal" benchmark would cover enough interesting cases).
