In current gcc trunk: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules

Software pipelining capabilities

2005-06-12 Thread Vasanth
Hi, I am using powerpc-eabi-gcc (3.4.1) and trying to retarget it for a fully pipelined FPU. I have a DFA model for the FPU. I am looking at the code produced for a simple FIR algorithm (a loop iterating over an array, with a multiply-add operation per iteration). (I am not using the fused-madd)

Two colleagues (Rafael Dantas de Castro and Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri) and I decided to try to make a scheme frontend for gcc. Since the task is proving quite difficult we decided to write a very small frontend that could be used as a tutorial. We call this small frontend "hello world" because it
