Well what I am really interested in is whether or not higher levels of optimization are more reliable now than before. Previously we have been warned against using many of the CPU specific optimizations, especially for the pentium 4, and the release notes offer little to support any conclusions... So without digging through mountains of GCC mailing list archives... Are these optimizations SAFER now? -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus! Copy me into your ~/.signature to help me spread!
