(I didn't look very closely) > Marc, Besides the fact that arrays are laid out contiguously in memory so it shouldn't matter, I am marking the pointers through which I access the memory as restrict so GCC shouldn't really care about what I am accessing in memory, only that the pointers involved are marked as restrict. Or at least this is my understanding, GCC seems to think otherwise but it seems like a recent change. gcc-4.5.4 is happy with the restrict keyword in this case and doesn't seem to reload the memory in question. -- Paulo Matos
