I'm not considering compiler optimization at all -- let us go with the assumption that we have disabled compiler optimization. The above example could be implemented as a series of if() else if()... but it isn't and I'm trying to find a reason why. Is there a case where the while(true) approach actually performs better or equal? -- Siddhesh Poyarekar This document validates as Plain Text -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
