But $SUBJECT specfied ARM7, specifically ARM7TDMI, not Cortex. Hardly new. I have no doubt that there have been some changes in code generation in more recent GCC versions. And likewise, I know that some of the changes were not *improvements* in terms of ARM codegen, so that some folk resisted GCC upgrades... I believe that the GCC folk will improve those codegen goofs over time, but it takes time to adapt to the back-end changes which have been filtering in, and tweak things to work as well on ARM as on, say, x86 (which gets more attention). - Dave _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
