But the question is, do we want all this sort of #pragmas? It would surely better to improve the compilers decisions on applying certain optimizations. As usual, in most of the cases the compiler will be smarter than the user trying to override it (and hereby maybe only working around bugs in a particular compiler release). All opposition that applied to stuff like attribute((leafify)) (hi Gaby!) applies here, too. So what is your opinion to all this babysitting-the-compiler?
Is your objection to a grain finer than the function level? Or is it to the whole concept of having pragmas change the optimization level per function?
