From: Dennis Ferguson <dennis@gw.ccie.utoronto.ca> To: rusty@garnet.berkeley.edu Subject: Re: patch for ntpq Date: Mon, 11 Sep 89 17:27:28 EDT Rusty, gcc -fstrength-reduce will turn loops like for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) a[i] = a[i+2]; into for (i = 9; i >= 0; i--) a[i] = a[i+2]; I will mention that it generates bad code. I don't think gcc -fstrength-reduce should be used for anything until that is fixed since that is an evil bug. The particular code I found it in has since changed, though, so I have no idea of how one could tell whether it is fixed.
