# Bug description The function `imult1616()` is currently using two operators for the 16x16 integer operation. However, the BASOP operator `i_mult(v1, v2)` could be used instead. ``` Word16 imult1616( Word16 x, Word16 y ) { assert( (int) x * (int) y < 32768 && (int) x * (int) y >= -32768 ); #ifdef PATCH return i_mult( x, y ); #else return extract_l( L_mult0( x, y ) ); #endif } ```
