- Subject: 64-bit integers on IA32
I was told half a year ago that the reason that gcc performing as well with
64-bit integers on IA32 as some other compilers (Intel, MS) was the the
register-pair used for holding the 64-bit integer, was thought of as a whole
by the compiler, which messed with gcc's register scheduling, or something
like that. Has that and/or related problems been solved in the meantime, or
will they be solved in any near future?
Thanks in advance,
David
