> egcs already can take limited advantage of profile data, for example,
The switches for re-using runtime gathered profiling data
in compilation are in gcc now for quite a while, IIRC. I'd
really like to see that working somehow with the Kernel
also. This is really a thing a compiler can always do better
than human assembler hackers.
(No, yes, I like assembler hackers. I really hope that not
too many people forget how to low-level code a processor
in future, since everything else makes users even more
dependant on the chip hardware manufacturers.)
ciao,
