Re: Question on performance
This is getting ridiculous. I was on the BSI C panel (i.e. part of WG14)
for over a decade, including during the standardisation of both C90 and C99.
I have also supported C compilers for half a dozen architectures by perhaps
a dozen vendors (and collaborated with several of them).
Your interpretation of the C standards is not unreasonable, but it is NOT
what was agreed on the WG14 reflector and is NOT how all compiler vendors
read the standards.
