Drop fixed-benchmark
This would close #346 (closed).
As advised in that issue, the fixed-benchmark has been deleted. Replacing it with a good benchmark would be difficult, because in actual use wl_fixed_to_double
gets inlined by compilers; there is also negligible benefit in optimizing the function, since wl_fixed_to_double
is not called on a large volume of data.
Minor note: Two almost equivalent alternatives to the chosen f * (1. / 256.)
were f * 0.00390625
(too much magic constant) and f / 256.
(not clearly representative of the compiled code due to div->mul optimization at -O1.)
