I wouldn't take "well structured" too literally here. Or, at least, I think it's best to consider the compiler developer's definition of "well structured" which is at least somewhat different than the application developer's.
Again, this is fairly easy stuff to measure -- in the statistical sense anyway. Recompile a few "representative" programs with the new compiler optimizations enabled then measure the effects. They should be good, sometimes very good. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples GMU VCT Architect Executive (Based in Singapore) E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
