Hi Vlad, Back in Decemember, when we were still very much in stage 3, I sent an RFC about an alternative implementation of -fsched-pressure. Just wanted to send a reminder now that we're in the proper stage:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-12/msg01684.html Ulrich has benchmarked it on ARM, S/390 and Power7 (thanks), and got reasonable results. (I mentioned bad Power 7 results in that message, because of the way the VSX_REGS class is handled. Ulrich's results are without -mvsx though.) The condition I orignally set myself was that this patch should only go in if it becomes the default on at least one architecture, specifically ARM. Ulrich tells me that Linaro have now made it the default for ARM in their GCC 4.7 release, so hopefully Ramana would be OK with doing the same in upstream 4.8. I realise the whole thing is probably more complicated and ad-hoc than you'd like. Saying it can't go in is a perfectly acceptable answer IMO. Thanks, Richard
