Instead of: .set noreorder .set nomacro b foo nop .set macro .set reorder perhaps we could emit: .set noreorder b foo .set nomacro nop .set macro .set reorder Since b foo wouldn't be affected by nomacro, branch relaxing could fix it up (the relaxations are delay-slot-safe). -- Alexandre Oliva Enjoy Guarana', see http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat GCC Developer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} CS PhD student at IC-Unicamp oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist Professional serial bug killer
