I have a different comment on the code size numbers: could we have
comparisons of code size for -Os rather than (or in addition to) -O2 and
-O3? If someone is particularly concerned with code size, -Os is what
they are expected to use.
Thanks for pointing this, Joseph.
Yes, it would be interesting to see how GCC code size is changed with
-Os (as the performance too). But probably it is even more interesting
for embedded processors. When I am less busy, I'll try to do it.
