Such things are aptly called "tricks" because they stray away from the convention. Ideally, I suppose, for these purposes would be to use assembly language routines mixed into the C code. But this is not as easy as with the "tricks." Anyway, I'm glad I presented this issue. It has definitely improved my understanding. GCC has dozens, if not hundreds, of compile options and I know the actual function of only a small few. Frank Peters
