- Doug, how does the new code generator of SAS/C 6.0 measure up against
- GCC 2? Why not post some data?
-
- I have a special interest in the code generation for switch()
- statements, as I have large program with lots of those. SAS/C 5.0
- does a mediocre job at generating code for switches, so in November
- 1990 (I think it was) I asked John Toebes to improve code generation
- for switches, and he demonstrated his plan for generating switch
- statements that find the correct case to execute through a binary
- search, rather than through a linear search. Has this been
- implemented yet?
