Subject: BCC software operations
Date: 04 Dec 2003 15:40:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1070548820.29047.9.camel@tom> (raw)

Hi,

Why is bcc sometimes using software operations when there are hardware
instructions available? Avoiding calls to software implementations of
those operations can immensely speed up bcc generated code. It also
voids the endless copy&paste of the implementations of the helper
functions. BTW: Is someone still developing bcc? Is this the right
mailing-list for bcc related questions? Are there any bcc user guides?


Please CC me,
Frank.
