##### Synopsis

    #include <cruntime.h>
    int16_t __int16_mul(int16_t *muliplicand, int16_t multiplier);

##### Description

__int16_mul_asgn updates the 16-bit signed integer pointed to by multiplicand by multiplying it by multiplier. The product is returned as the result. As only the lower 16 bits of the product are returned, __int16_mul returns correct products, modulo 16 bits, for both signed and unsigned arguments.

##### Portability

__int16_mul_asgn may not be provided on all implementations of CrossWorks.
