<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I just recently updated the patches for my <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=34628">x86_64
Optimizer Overhaul</a> (which also improves i386). One thing
I'm not so sure of is if I've accidentally overwritten some more
recent changes to the peephole optimizer or not, which I hope I
haven't!</p>
<p>Hopefully performance gains are still significant. Some parts of
the overhauled optimiser (which does not affect other platforms)
are a little more complicated than they need to be, but this is so
-O1 doesn't perform worse than before.</p>
<p>The bug issue linked above contains a PDF-formatted design
specification that explains my motivations and choices.<br>
