Ok, I have now tried it with gcc-4.0-20050220 and gforth-0.6.2 on i386
and it works ok. There is a minor remaining regression related to this
issue:
gcc-4.0 compiles "goto **(ip-1);" into
0x804b50d <engine+1341>: mov 0xfffffffc(%ebx),%eax
0x804b510 <engine+1344>: jmp *%eax
gcc-2.95 compiles it into
0x804b103 <engine+227>: jmp *0xfffffffc(%ebx)
which looks better.
Maybe there should be another combining pass after the duplication of the
indirect jumps. Should I create another PR for this?
Here are updated timing results (gforth-0.6.2 configured with
--enable-force-reg):
