...ould be RAUW'd based solely on SSA properties. • load / store alias analysis could be short-circuited for such loads. • Codegen could remat such loads under register pressure. • Vtable lookups through loop-invariant SSA vars could trivially be shown to be themselves loop-invariant. C++'s predilection for swizzling vtable pointers in constructors and destructors probably prevents it from being a useful facility for vtable lookups though. Short of a necessarily whole-program source- language interprocedural analysis proving safety. Sigh. — Gordon

Hi Guys, This is a strange one. We use Samba on a SCO UNIX Box that shares various files out. If you are on a Win98 system and copy a text document over to the local disk on win98 and then modify the file on a single line from the SCO system and then re-copy that file again to the 98 box it doesn't recognise any difference. It doesn't appear to occur with XP and Linux systems mounting the

Hello, I am curious, what is the cause of some encoding artifacts, I guess part of them should not be present. - when encoding with a defined bitrate, some artifacts show up which I'd not suppose to be there at all. I attach a screenshot from the beginning og Harry Potter 1 at the moment before the "Privet Drive" plate slowly appears from the darkness. Note the green and red

...themselves loop-invariant. This is very interesting. If there is a use-case that this sort of thing would strongly benefit, then we could add it. We would want very strongly defined properties though. Saying that no subsequent store aliases the load is probably sufficient. > C++'s predilection for swizzling vtable pointers in constructors and > destructors probably prevents it from being a useful facility for > vtable lookups though.

...sic] music", you have both PART and TITLE comments in quotes. Why? I also suggest that you expand LABELNO to LABELNUMBER so we don't have LABEL*NO*, but TRACK*NUMBER* and DISC*NUMBER*. Foolish inconsistency is the hobgoblin of consensus building. Finally, a style note: you seem to have a predilection for typing in all caps--this makes you seem like a gadfly much like Jakob Nielsen. I therefore suggest: - Don't type in all caps unless you're referring to particular tag names. - prefer <strong> to all caps if you want to stress a particular word or phrase. Do use it sparingly, thoug...

This is related to the general question of efficiency of unwinds. I'm mulling over whether to use the Java-style or Python-style iterator protocol for my language. The Python style is to have a special exception (StopIteration) that is thrown when the end of the sequence is reached. The Java style is to have a separate "hasNext" method on the iterator object that says whether or

Hello, Today I installed R for Windows version 2.13.1, but realized that it's not something that I need right now. I attempted to uninstall it, but am getting the following error message: "This Installation can only be uninstalled on 64-bit Windows." I am running Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, SP 3. I've also tried the unins000.exe file as suggested in the help, and
