> (b) why !optimize_size has been replaced with optimize_insn_for_speed_p ()? seems to be > this patch replace some of optimize_size tests by > optimize_insn_for_speed_p predicate so we can make decisions on per-BB > granuality. from http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-08/msg00121.html (revision 138565 by hubicka, Sun Aug 3 12:04:49 2008 UTC). Why is there any need to expand pow(x,n) "on per-BB granularity"? is not !optimize_size enough for this case? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40106
