Wenn Sie den a [b] -Hack als Betrug ansehen (da es sich wirklich um ein Add handelt), funktioniert dies stattdessen. Bei Tabellensuchen werden jedoch auch Zeiger hinzugefügt.
Siehe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_1620 - ein Computer, der tatsächlich mithilfe von Nachschlagetabellen hinzugefügt hat ...
Etwas Befriedigendes daran, einen Tabellenmechanismus zu verwenden, um eine Operation zu beschleunigen, die tatsächlich in einer Anweisung ausgeführt werden könnte.
