Hi. Csound, a package I maintain, supports enabling a set of gcc optimizations via a build option. Code generated with those options can be significantly faster (I've seen improvements of over 2x). However, this option means adding a -mtune option to gcc. Obviously, the only sane option for a debian package is -mtune=generic (which is apparently only available on x86 and amd64). However I read in the info pages for gcc:
> Produce code optimized for the most common IA32/AMD64/EM64T processors. Does this mean that setting -mtune=generic is the same as setting -mtune to the most popular processor? If so, can/should I use that option? -- Felipe Sateler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
