With optimization enabled the compiler can find out that the local var is only read, which is also true for a with-expression and applies the same optimizations. Optimizing read only variables is basic code optimization. > Are both held in registers with the same mechanism and will there never be an > (speed) adavantage of one of them? > If there is only the chance that it may speed up the code (even when only on > certain platforms) then I would like to know it. If speed matters you should enable optimization. When optimization is enabled there is no difference.
