libdivide (libdivide.com) is an awesome library.
I'm using it to replace an unsigned 32-bit and unsigned 64-bit division in my hardened malloc implementation: github.com/AndroidHardeni.
The divisors vary per size class so the compiler can't take care of optimizing it.

It completely solves a huge performance problem I would have had to deal with by hand and only added 16 bytes to the binary size.

That's a microbenchmark of the malloc implementation using various size classes and writing data to the memory allocations. It's a drastic performance improvement since it's a perfect use case for the library. It only needs to set up the two divisors for each size class at init.
