I looked at the floating point code generation, specifically, a while ago. This was very agressive (TenDRA optimizes fully by default), though to the extent that values would change, simply due to spilling of a register, and casts were not necessarily honored. Obviously this isn't directly relevant, but probably indicates a high degree of general optimization. -- Robert Nordier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
