Good suggestions. Are you comfortable with the general direction
I'm
taking here, though? I'd like to make our codebase alias analysis
safe.
I think it is definitely preferable to use the default optimizations
of the compiler where possible (except that I'm of the school that
says "I'll see your '-O6' and raise you 10" when I'm holding
"-Os"
:-). GCC has always been more reliable when you let it do what it
wants to do.
The macros though were Ben and Martin's creations. Last I talked to
Martin, it seemed very unlikely that he would return to active duty on
21.5. He had his private ambitions to rewrite in C++, and he favored
21.4 anyway. I don't know what Ben's intentions are, but I know he's
alive and has unmerged workspaces, so maybe we should ask him.
I personally have no objection to removing what you consider
unnecessary macros though, as long is something is done to maintain
error-checking.
