NO! There are a lot of code in the expander to handle division and modulus by
a constant already. If the division cost is high enough, then it is not used
directly and the multiply method is used as shown by what happens on aarch64:
f:
mov w1, 21846
movk w1, 0x5555, lsl 16
smull x1, w0, w1
lsr x1, x1, 32
sub w1, w1, w0, asr 31
add w1, w1, w1, lsl 1
sub w0, w0, w1
ret
int f(int a)
{
return a%3;
}
