Hi People, I didn't realize that the 3.5 branching had happened. Now that it has, does anyone have any objections to this?: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-patches/2004-q1/msg00008.html Like I said, it boosts performance by >50%. Bryce had an alternative implementation, but it wasn't finished: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2004-01/msg00031.html ...and has possible issues: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2004-01/msg00035.html I figure that something is better than nothing and this can always go through a subsequent iteration now that the branching has taken place. -- Mohan http://www.thisiscool.com/ http://www.animalsong.org/
