While in isolation that's a good idea, how far should it be taken?
Should the compiler emit information on which
variables wound up in which registers, and why? What about other of
the myriad of compiler optimizations?
Isn't Inlining by far the most important (most practical) optimization
among those that actually we can control?
A few times i have seen comparisons here to similar languages and in
most of them the inlining was the reason (only) for
the inferior performance.
I agree it would be awesome if the compilers had the ability to chose
the best method, but comparisons show sometimes
the opposite, i don't know maybe they are hand-picked for some reason.
Nope.. that'd be choosing the 'right' algorithm.
Heh, yeh after that.
