------- Comment #19 from d at teklibre dot com 2009-04-22 19:48 ------- @Andrew: I agree with Jakub's point too, but don't believe merely doubling the number of operands will hurt much. Am trying it against 4.3.2... it's building as I write.
When I figure out how to safely build 4.4 I will look at its code quality and fiddle in the same ways. I don't understand how using named register variables would help except for making this slightly easier to write in C + snippets of asm. symbolic assembly, and using the occasional complex memory-addressing instruction helps a lot. I will think on it. @H.J: I will provide an example when I get the spare brain cells. It will pay for me to test against 4.4 first, however. I very much appreciate all the attention paid to this today. I am going away to hack for a while while my cpu glows from building gcc. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39847
