[PATCH] pass constants as first argument to st_mult()

From
René Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de>
Date
Jul 30, 2016, 18:18 UTC
Message-ID
<579CEF77.9070202@web.de>

The result of st_mult() is the same no matter the order of its arguments. It invokes the macro unsigned_mult_overflows(), which divides the second parameter by the first one. Pass constants first to allow that division to be done already at compile time.
