That's not really the same thing. The idea is that if I have:
fmulp %st, %st(2)
I could apply it to the second argument before that instruction and it would
still be a NOP, while providing the barrier (against cprop, etc) that I need.
For the determinant of a 3x3 matrix, calling f for each operation on the
arguments and the result changes the number of insn from 27 to 39 (removing
"volatile" doesn't help) (it may not all be for this reason though).
Well, "+mt" is still an improvement over "+m" I guess...
