the gcc gurus will probably know already, but maybe it's interesting
for some:
Yesterday I tried to "optimize" a piece of code. According to Linus'
suggestions I wanted to compare the assembler output, but *surprise*
the was not a sigle byte different! I could not believe it and
compiled again; no difference. I did not know that gcc is that smart
already. Here's the patch that does not make any difference with the
default compilation options:
--- time.c 1996/10/15 19:15:18 1.5
+++ time.c 1996/10/16 19:31:05 1.7
