------- Comment #5 from acahalan at gmail dot com 2006-02-22 03:14 ------- The code in comment #4 really isn't the same as the original. The original is a decorated version of this:
if(x && y) It is meant to express that: x is likely y is likely x&&y is unlikely Here, the probability of x times the probability of y is less than 0.5 even though the probability of x and the probability of y are both greater than 0.5. Nothing says that standalone __builtin_expect() calls should have no effect. This can be much more readable than using the calls in a test. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26366
