Thanks, and yes, I'm using GCC 4.4,
But gcc didn't work in this way for me, I tried piece of code like:
extern float a, b;
extern int c;
int main(void)
{
c = (a < b);
return 0;
}
after tracing cc1, found gcc would also do it with set/compare/jump/set code at
the end of function do_store_flag, i.e., unsing cmp<mode> and b<code> sequence.
