| Aug 4, 2013 at 9:01 | comment | added | Manfred Weis | thanks for clarifying the conditions under which the suggested difference-representation is beneficial. I see practical applicability of the difference-representation in the repeated multiplication with compile-time constants if additions/subtractions are very expensive like e.g. in the scaling of long vectors of data; could be an idea for optimization in generated code. | |
