Hmm, results are not good. Up to 8-digit conversions we were winning,
but when we start converting larger numbers, we lose big time:

123456789:2388000 2^32:2268000 2^64:1400000
123456789:1168000 2^32:976000 2^64:532000

Since ARM is 32-bit, we are using algorithm #2.

It's not like algorithm #2 is intrinsically bad: on i386, it is a win
on both AMD and Intel I tested it on.

Either it's just the difference between ARM and x86, or gcc is
generating suboptimal code for it.

I would like to ask you to do a few things.

First: email me both test_org and test_new binaries.
(Privately, to not spam the list).

Second: run
arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc -O2 -Wall test_{org,new}.c -S
and email me resulting test_{org,new}.s files.

Third: switch to algorithm #1 and test whether it fares better.
To do that, go to test_new.c
and replace
  #if LONG_MAX > ((1UL<<31)-1) || LLONG_MAX > ((1ULL<<63)-1)
with 
  #if 1   ////LONG_MAX > ((1UL<<31)-1) || LLONG_MAX > ((1ULL<<63)-1)
(there are two instances of this line there),
then recompile and rerun the test, and post the result.


When I disassemble ARM code produced by _my_ compiler,
I don't see any obviously bad things.

put_dec_trunc8 is the function which works well for you.

put_dec_full4 and put_dec are used for printing 9+ digit numbers,
and your testing says they are slow. I don't see why -
see disassembly below.

I need to look at _your_ gcc's output...
