Jim Wilson explained to me that gcc3 no longer includes the "stupid"
register allocator and, for that reason, the "register" keyword is now
completely ignored as far as code-generation is concerned. AFAIK,
this breaks existing code (such as "mhz", part of lmbench), so it
might be a good idea to document this. Also, I found that "gcc.texi"
in the 3.0 pre-release still has one reference to the "stupid"
register allocator:
$ fgrep -i stupid gcc.texi
the input file name. If stupid register allocation is in use, this
This probably should be removed.
Thanks,
