Agner Fog has a nice list in his > optimisation manuals, but the only ones _always_ worth doing are the 0 and -1 > integer cases, and the 0.0 floating point case (also using xor). If the compiler knows anything about the pipeline around the code, it should be able to make the best choice about the others. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
