[net.lang.c] C optimizers

wolfe@mprvaxa.UUCP (Peter Wolfe) (02/23/84)

Why all this discussion about comparing C code output and Bliss?  All you
are doing is comparing implementations.  You can write a real optimizer
for C (we have) .  Perhaps Bliss is wonderful but this is net.lang.c so 
lets talk about C.

Enough said.

If you have written an optimizing C compiler, why not make it available?

I will personally subject it to all sorts of horrible constructs and see if
it generates code that is "correct".
