------- Comment #8 from malitzke at metronets dot com 2007-06-27 21:34 ------- Glad it hit the spot and hopefully alerted the user community as to what is going on.
Now, how about doing something about transforming a clearly expressed subtraction into a udivdi3. To the best of my knowledge and research the kernel does not even make the minuend or the subtrahend into a long-long and still the udivdi3 is rammed down the user community's throat. In my toy program (because of the GCC maintainers insistence that everything be reduced I resorted to long-long). This udivdi3 issue was swept by you, Mr. Guenther under the rug by making it an enhancement of severity less than trivial. As I was clearly rejected by the GCC insiders in my attempts to help make the C compiler more attuned to the spirit of the C99 committee; I am now forced to alert the user community of what is happening with near monopoly. And why is a GCC maintainer, with priveledged access to GCC's bugzilla, and hence a spokesperson for the GCC community claiming again and again on GCC's bugzilla that Mr Linus Torvalds is wrong, instead of having the guts to confront Mr torvalds directly. I do not work for Mr Torvalds nor am I part of the the kernel community to deliver an inane message to somebody of the stature of Mr Torvalds. Actually it is evidently clear that Mr Linus Torvalds and Mr Andrew Morton do not need my help. I am actually pursuing this on my own as part of a larger picture. As an outsider GCC's bugzilla is the equivalent to the leads of the good old EE black box. You use use the tools available. Signed Ray Malitzke. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32493
