Split Multiplication of integers

Question

I need an algorithm that uses two 32-bit integers as parameters, and returns the multiplication of these parameters split into two other 32-bit integers: 32-highest-bits par

Answer 1

Just use 16 bits digits.

void multiply(uint32_t a, uint32_t b, uint32_t* h, uint32_t* l) {
    uint32_t const base = 0x10000;
    uint32_t al = a%base, ah = a/base, bl = b%base, bh = b/base;
    *l = al*bl;
    *h = ah*bh;
    uint32_t rlh = *l/base + al*bh;
    *h += rlh/base;
    rlh = rlh%base + ah*bl;
    *h += rlh/base;
    *l = (rlh%base)*base + *l%base;
}
