Uh..I think you have just given us a reason why math folks do need to be discounted sometimes. :) > I just need to compare the state of RAM, registers and CPU before and after a > 32 bit instruction for a measly 4 billion of them!!! Maybe it would finish > overnight and so I could wake up with proof in hand! There is a WHOLE lot more state in a cpu such as the ARM that can affect the outcome of any particular piece of code. Just comparing the results of each machine instruction in a purely functional way tests only a very tiny part of all of the cpu's functionality. -- Tracy Reed http://tracyreed.org
