That's fair. We probably need to start building more tests for the test
suite at some point to catch the causes of these bugs, like you hinted
with some of the bugs introduced with my peephole optimizations! (Sorry
about that!)

Hi everyone,
Any word on the validity of this ARM / AArch64 optimisation? It's quite good at
increasing speed and shrinking code size by concatenating writes to the stack,
among other things:
https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/merge_requests/104 - the new CPU
feature flag I put in will also mean I can use it on ArmV7A to improve constant
generation (for ARM, it requires at least an ARMV7A architecture, and for
AArch64 it always works).
I am currently a little bit more careful with merging as we had some subtile
bugs recently and I want to wait till things settle down first.
