[fpc-devel] Kit's ambitions!

[J. Gareth Moreton]

 Hi Florian,
 I don't know if you have any answers, but I'm unable to apply any patches
I receive. I can view them and see the changes, and manually apply them via
copy+paste if I have to, but using the "Apply Patch" option ends up not
doing anything.  Is there a fix to this, or does it error out because I
only have read access to SVN (even though the patch should only modify my
local files)?

 Looking at the design though, I can definitely experiment to see how the
deep optimiser performs in the preallocation block.  It will certainly
have the advantage of being able to handle registers that may end up being
stored on the stack due to the lack of free actual registers.  If needs
be, I'll submit the current deep optimiser that does all of its work after
the peephole optimisation, and can change it to pre register allocation
later on.  I will need to see if it performs better or worse the earlier
stage and also potentially cause other optimisations to get missed because
of MOVs being changed or removed.

 Fun times ahead!  Thanks for the patch.
 Gareth

 It is only before pass 1. 

 I attached a patch I once started which shows the idea.
