Hi all,
I've some issue with Maemo Mapper which I cannot solve by myself and are
unfortunately quite severe:
- Sometimes, a "HWRecoveryResetSGX: SGX Hardware Recovery triggered" line
appears on the syslog. Most of the times, without any visible effects.
- Rarely, the device freezes for sev

And just checked gcc man page to verify this stuff.
-ffast-math
Sets -fno-math-errno

I added some profiling to the code, and I measured the time spent by a
function which is operating on an array of points (whose coordinates are
integers) and trasforming e

Why you would switch it off?
Operations on "fast floats" aren't IEEE compatible, but as far as
I've understood, they should differ only for numbers that are very close
to zero, close enough that repeating your

N900 has support for NEON instructions also.
This sounds interesting!

The answer to that is, obviously, to use the Cortex-A-series SIMD
engine, NEON.
Supposedly you may be able to make gcc generate NEON instructions with
-mfpu=neon -ffast-math -ftree-vectorize
