Hi Ivan,
Excellent news..
I tested it on a large code base I have, and it makes bigger code that
3.2.3 even with -Os.
For example with the MSP430_169_forweb project from
http://www.olimex.com/dev/soft/msp430/MSP430-169LCD.zip
The size with 3.2.3 is
text data bss dec hex filename
6048 522 1026 7596 1dac main.elf
With 4.3.4,
text data bss dec hex filename
8398 4 1542 9944 26d8 main.elf
I have had similar results on the H8 platform. Perhaps its better to
concentrate on porting to the latest version of GCC 3.x. The biggest problem
in GCC 3.x in general is that the long long (64 bit) type support is broken
(can lead to unexpected results).
