The compiler is a bit big for my abilities. :) I must say that at least the ia64 code it generates doesn't seem to do as many silly things like the subl/addl's of %esp, it just doesn't reorder the intructions very well to pack them into the "packets" so you end up with nops, but at least the instructions it does use make sense. :) -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
