optimizing costly calculation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



hi,

I have a piece of code which does roughly this (after inlining):

Foo *foo1 = bar (ctx);
foo1->something ();
Foo *foo2 = bar (ctx);
foo2->something ();

bar is a function which will always return the same value if its input
is the same value (and ctx is constant over the function body) so, I
would like to instruct gcc that he can optimize away the second call
to bar but I could not find any obvious way to do this. Is this a
really stupid idea or did I miss something obvious ?
