Hehe, you got inspired by the 3.4 talk I see :)

Good old wintermute, always comes up with the goods.

And your timing is impeccable, I just formatted yesterday and haven't reinstalled the old version yet, so I'm all clean and ready to go.

Thanks again man.

Hmmm, just been reading up on any changes to GCC 3.4.3 that could matter to us specifically and this page http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.4/changes.html has some interesting notes (mostly on C++ compliance upgrades which won't apply to most people) and I found this interesting:

Quote:
Nicolas Pitre has contributed his hand-coded floating-point support code for ARM. It is both significantly smaller and faster than the existing C-based implementation, even when building applications for Thumb. The arm-elf configuration has been converted to use the new code.

Wasn't the previous version r8? Or am I imagining things?

I guess that either the version numbering has switched to octal, or (more likely) the version numbering is now kept in sync with that of the PPC build.

3.4 should be much better at optimization in general, and especially the unit-at-a-time compilation which for one should make roms smaller since it finds and removes unused code (finally!).

And use -O3.

um, release 8 was 3.4.1 this one just adds bug fixes from that.
