- [...regarding conditional moves on DEC's Alpha...]
-
- For a reference on compilers, inlining conditional code, and GCC see:
-
- "Eliminating Branches using a Superoptimizer and the GNU C Compiler" by
- Granlund and Kenner in ACM SIGPLAN '92 pp. 341-352
-
- The paper describes methods for inlining short conditional statements. While
- they give examples for the RS/6000, the techniques map nicely onto machines
- with conditional move instructions.
