Hi,

Please do make sure that "better code on x86" doesn't equally worse code on other platforms. It may be the "majority" platform, but it is not the only platform.
We are aware of that. In fact I gave up on trying to trick GCC into producing good code by rearranging the C source. A single architecture dependent #ifdef plus some inline assembly seems much cleaner. And it can be removed quickly if it ever turns out to be a bad idea for newer x86 processors.
Bye, Mike
