Questions:
That looks like pretty nice code!
Surely it is a signed-unsigned multiply though? Where the a is signed and b is unsigned. It can be thought of as doing a 16*16 where the high byte of b is always 0.
Is this correct or am I not thinking properly?

Martin Sturm replies: Thanks, I haven't though it through in great detail but my first thoughts are no, it won't work for either signed a or b.+
