Hi,

I have some 24bit audio data (stored in an unsigned int). I have to
sign extend it to 32 bit.
From what I understand, I just look at bit 23 (counting from bit0)
which is the sign-bit. If it
is 1 then I place 1's in bit23 to bit31. If it is zero then I don't
need to do anything.

Now...is there a fast way of doing that on SHARC ADSP 21469 ? A built-
in function or something?

I haven't been able to find anything in the manuals (maybe I am
overlooking something).

Thanks

s32 y = (u32)(s24) x -  (s32)0x800000

Duh.

Oops.

s32 y =  (x ^ 0x800000) -  0x800000
