I'd like to propose a code freeze on all K8/K10 assembly code, which I
have now converted to yasm format, unless serious bugs are uncovered.

If we freeze the code then we can begin testing. I propose we wear out
each and every file with /tests/devel/try including many small
operands and as many different types of data as try can throw at it.

On my machine the K8 code gets a bench of 15283 which is what it got
before the conversion. Also on K10 I did cycle timings of all the
functions we care about and they did not change (to within tolerances
due to variations between runs of course).

I'm inclined to finish the core 2 code conversion tomorrow, do some
cleaning up of the C code (insert some whitespace :-)) and then
release 1.0.0. It's just about as much work as releasing 0.9.1.

By the way, make check still runs the yasm tests.

Bill.
