Has anyone used the sumacc software on a sun workstation and used the
sun c compiler instead of the sumacc one? I have a hunch that the sun
c compiler will produce faster/tighter/smaller code. The one thing
that i think would need to be worked around is the register saving:
the sun c compiler saves a2-a5 (it uses a6 for the frame pointer) and
d2-d7; for the mac you are supposed to save a2-a6 and d1-d7 (i'm
assuming that the sumacc c compiler uses a6 for the frame pointer
too). I'm not sure if this can be worked around.
Has anybody tried this or have any suggestions to offer?
