[net.micro.68k] Optimizing M68000 C compilers?

jbn@wdl1.UUCP (05/17/85)

      Is there a really strong C compiler for the 68K?  Try this on
yours?

	lcopy(src,dest,n)
	long src[];
	long dest[];
	long n;
	{	while (n--) *dest++ = *src++;	}

Is the inner loop two instructions long, and suitable for repeat mode?
If so, then try this one.

	lcopy(src,dest,n)
	long src[];
	long dest[];
	long n;
	{
		for (i=0; i<n; i++) dest[i] = src[i];
	}

Is the inner loop two instructions long, and suitable for repeat mode?
If so, please post.  That's a non-toy compiler.
