RE: Problems when compiling Wine 20001202 with gcc -O6

This thread is becomming silly.

Sorry Patrik, but your arguments about heuristics are very strange. The
difference between a heuristic and an algorithm is that for an algorithm
one can _prove_ certain properties (such as big-O complexity, etc), where
as a heuristic has some interesting properties for most "real life" input
but not all possible input. A heuristic does not give you the gurantees
that an algorithm does. Mind you, a heuristic _is_ an algorithm, but we
call them differently for the reasons listed above.
