24 is not really a power of two :)	[reply]

Ah right, I was thinking about the cutoff point being at 2^24 and that is a power of two. Really self-evident ;-)) Doh	[reply]

Since at the end you have to use an AND anyway to cut off the 2 flag-bits you could use a negative offset of 8 bits and mask 10 bits of a 2**5=32 bit vec without loss of speed! `Flags 01234567\|FF\|ddddddddddddddddddddd 32 bit Vector -8 bits \| \| 22 bits Data 00000000\|00\|111111111111111111111 Mask` [download] Cheers Rolf	[reply] [d/l]
