Hi Bakul,
...what I'd like to see is a total *ban* on any
and all optimizations.
What you get is what you see!
I think you'd see less clear source code as, once again, programmers
chased efficiency by contorting the source to squeeze the best out of a
dumb compiler.
I think Ted said it well.
Let the compiler squeeze all it can out of the letter of the standard.
Let the programmer have the compiler abide by the spirit of the language.
