As most of the PDA's released the last two years use XScale it is benefitically to use a gcc that can optimize for your target. Specially if you know that multiple load+store is quite slow... And now gcc has support for visibility this allows you to control which symbols are visible. This means code will run faster, binaries are smaller... which is pretty appealing to me... ... _______________________________________________ http://opie.handhelds.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/DeveloperWikiIndex Opie-devel mailing list [email protected] https://handhelds.org/mailman/listinfo/opie-devel
