Re: PR 15492: floating-point arguments are loaded too early to x87 stack

Is there everything OK with fsched-insn2 for pentum4 case?

The problem here is that we have no DFA scheduler for pentium4, and we also have no default scheduling info. As a result, the compiler assumes that almost everything takes 1 cycle. This is unlikely to result in a good schedule.


Someone will have to write a DFA scheduler for pentium4 if we want good code for that target.

I say almost everything, because in the ppro.md file, the reservation for call instruction is missing the cpu==pentiumpro check, and hence it applies to pentium4 also. I suspect this is a bug, but it could be an undocumented misfeature.
