David O'Brien has posted this on October, 25th "We've been using '-O2 -fno-strict-aliasing' on all our 64-bit platforms for quite a while now. So I think it is field-tested enough to give it a try on the 'i386' kernel also...." Does it apply to the just released and announced FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE as well? Or it is considered safe only for 6.0-CURRENT ? Does anyone know the answer? In case it is indeed safe to compile the 5.3 world and kernel with -O2, then someone might want to change the text in /etc/make.conf ("Note also that at this time the -O2 setting is known to produce BROKEN CODE due to bugs in FreeBSD code.") Please note that I do undearstand that it is not safe to use -O2 optimization for compiling ports. I am only talking about the FreeBSD 5.3 world and kernel. (Or at leaset the kernel - in case it is not yet a 100% safe for world...) ZoltanReceived on Sun Nov 07 2004 - 02:19:01 UTC
