Ok, thanks. But really I don't want to do "((int64_t)a) * b", which I know works, hence that is very much slower than "a * b" on intel processors, hence the "mull" instruction will be used instead of "imul". I found the following option by googling: -mwide-multiply multiplies of 32 bits are 64 Is there an __attribute__() that I can use that will enable this for one multiplication, and not all ?
