We need push on that. Looking at http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-04/msg00291.html there seems to be a missing understanding, why the cache barriers are needed. I guess the patch could be improved by pointing directly to the errata section of the R10k user manual. Or even better copy the text out of the user manual. That should make clear why this patch is needed. Peter did you do the copyright assigment ? That's probably the second part, which needs to be done. Thomas. -- Crap can work. Given enough thrust pigs will fly, but it's not necessary a good idea. [ RFC1925, 2.3 ]
