------- Additional Comments From pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org 2005-06-27 15:17 ------- A better example as on 32bit targets long and int are the same size which removes the casts: extern long long int llabs (long long int __x) __attribute__ ((__const__));
int main() { int a,b; foo(&a, &b); if (llabs(a) > b) return 1; else return 0; } Or just as good: extern int abs (int __x) __attribute__ ((__const__)); void foo(short *, short*); int main() { short a,b; foo(&a, &b); if (abs(a) > b) return 1; else return 0; } Though only the first one will have different asm and will be better optimized. -- What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW Ever Confirmed| |1 Last reconfirmed|0000-00-00 00:00:00 |2005-06-27 15:17:41 date| | http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22199
