I am aware of many instances where gcc was able to produce better code
than some asm-advocates I know. It also seems to me, that you have to
look at register use, and how that affects code before and after the asm
function.
Anyways, as I've snipped the post I was replying to, I may have missed
whatever point the previous poster was trying to make... although there
was mention of incorporating Dick's optimizing methods into gcc. This
sounds like a good idea to me, and definately more productive than
actually using hand-coded asm. We definately need to analyze gcc's output
with an eye towards increasing optimization in gcc.
Anyways, good work everyone, and good day!
