I think I'll wait for Aztec C, hopefully it will be a bit better at getting things right. It is supposed to generate better code than Lattice too. I know from a piece of one of my routines, the code was supposed to assign one structure to another, it so happens that the structure is 8 bytes long. On my SUN at work, its C compiler generates two move.l instructions: move.l -8(a6),-16(a6) move.l -12(a6),-20(a6) That take 56 clock cycles. Lattice generates lea -8(a6),a0 lea -16(a6),a1 moveq.l #7,d0 loop: move.b (a0)+,(a1)+ dbf d0,loop which means 18 instructions executed at 186 clock cycles. Not very good performance.
