I agree. I had asked for opinions with respect to the increase in size. Several people reminded me that this is presumably due to inlining functions or to lookup tables. After all, -O3 might well offset, or even gain over, the ELF "loss" due to the lost register. And ELF seems to create smaller executables so that the size increase cause by -O3 does matter less. -- Dirk Eddelb|ttel http://qed.econ.queensu.ca/~edd
