Re: Unomitted frame pointers

Do you know about macro expansion? CPP would make it seperate strings. So there would be (simplified);

.LC0:
.string "Hello World!\n"
.LC1:
.string "Hello World!\n"
main:
; push LC0 into strlen
push #.LC0, (%eax)
call strlen
; push LC1 into write
push #.LC1, (%ebx)
...

It automatically happens, and I don't know of any way to avoid cpp from macro-expanding it to that. Though inlining would reduce it to the C code

int main(void)
{
       char str1 = "Hello World!\n";
       char str2 = "Hello World!\n";
       int str_len = 0;
       while (*str1++ != "\0")
              str_len++;
       write(2, str2, str_len);
}

embedding strlen inside main. Or even more optimization

int main(void)
{
        write(2, "Hello World!\n", 13);
}

which is back where we started.
