 it would be nice to produce "into" someday.

+This code:

+void vec_mpys1(int y[], const int x[], int scaler) {

+for (i = 0; i < 150; i++)
+ y[i] += (((long long)scaler * (long long)x[i]) >> 31);

+Compiles to this loop with GCC 3.x:

+.L5:
+	movl	%ebx, %eax
+	imull	(%edi,%ecx,4)
+	shrdl	$31, %edx, %eax
+	addl	%eax, (%esi,%ecx,4)
+	incl	%ecx
+	cmpl	$149, %ecx
+	jle	.L5

+llvm-gcc compiles it to the much uglier:
