David, How do you know the GNU assembler gives better performance? Is that just what the robot told you? /tmp/RandomX $ ./build/randomx-benchmark --init 10 --test 10 --mine --jit RandomX benchmark v2.0.1 ... Performance: 241.404 hashes per second /tmp/RandomX $ ./build-gas/randomx-benchmark --init 10 --test 10 --mine --jit RandomX benchmark v2.0.1 ... Performance: 240.286 hashes per second Maybe you found something I don't see... but you need to provide empirical data. -- Andrew
