------- Additional Comments From oakad at yahoo dot com 2005-02-20 21:16 ------- Three points: 1. Handling of this case shall be consistent. When dealing with global variables compiler emits byte by byte copy code. With automatic variables, compiler emits single lfs/stfs. 2. I believe that PPC architecture explicitly forbids unaligned floating loads and stores. 3. The whole point in my code sniplet is to accelerate some communication protocol. Exception handler invocation is obviously out of question.
