Lines: 13 Has anyone used the sumacc software on a sun workstation and used the sun c compiler instead of the sumacc one? I have a hunch that the sun c compiler will produce faster/tighter/smaller code. The one thing that i think would need to be worked around is the register saving: the sun c compiler saves a2-a5 (it uses a6 for the frame pointer) and d2-d7; for the mac you are supposed to save a2-a6 and d1-d7 (i'm assuming that the sumacc c compiler uses a6 for the frame pointer too). I'm not sure if this can be worked around. Has anybody tried this or have any suggestions to offer? -- rusty c. wright {ucbvax,ihnp4,akgua,hplabs,sdcsvax}!sdcarl!rusty
