I'd like issues brought up in a manner that mere mortals can read and understand. Eg. "implementation of symmetrical operation with decided asymmetry in cycle count between operands" Means nothing to me, but I'm just and electronics and electrical engineer and software professional.

(no British English spelling checker active - yet) On one Q&A platform one question sparked my interest in coding multiplication for AVR, and some of the results (especially retiring two multiplier bits instead of one at very little additional cost) have looked like GCC for AVR should profit from it(in part for Atmel Studio still including a libgcc predating gjl's 2012/08/24 rewrites)(<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29812009/faster-16bit-multipli cation-algorithm-for-8-bit-mcu>). With my mind still not made up about how to contribute (dumping it to bug tracking being the timid&lazy option), let me start with a meta² question: Do you prefer each of a few subjectsbrought up by the same occasion(like discriminate "optimise time" by expected vs. worst case; implementation of symmetrical operation with decided asymmetry in cycle count between operands; code generation for multiplication by constants for 2 vs. 3 address architectures (and weird intermediates like the AVRs); choosing between not totally ordered implementations, testing multiplication; avr.md vs. -fixed; multilibs) in a separate posting, or should they be kept together, if at the risks of postings as long-winded as this question? regards, HoW -- Wolfgang Hospital _______________________________________________ AVR-GCC-list mailing list AVR-GCC-list@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-gcc-list _______________________________________________ AVR-GCC-list mailing list AVR-GCC-list@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-gcc-list
