What is an "intermediate address register"?

Could you please show some sample lines of code to show what you mean about this alleged "huge code for nothing" SASC behavior?

is this a free software that replace the poseidon stack?

Here's a remark - just what is "ANAIIS" supposed to be? How come the author doesn't explain what it's all about, nor provide a working and clickable link to an official website?

@petah

You're right. The posting only says this is USB software.
That wasn't enough information and I thought it might be OS5 in disguise.
So I had to take a long 5 seconds to copy and paste the URL into IBrowse.
And then I had to read for another 15 seconds to find out it is not OS5.
Wow, that's almost as much work as it would take to reply here and complain.

Here the code. I don't post the assembly equivalent, but Version 1 is huge, Version 2, with intermediate register address is better in size and in execution speed.

Version 1: KO
#define UHCMEMSIZE 2
/* read word with conversion Intel -> Motorola from UHC124 memory. */
static UWORD HW_ReadWORDM(struct Hardware *hw, ULONG offset)
{
UWORD a ;
a = (*(UWORD*)((hw->base + (offset+0)*UHCMEMSIZE)) >> 8) ;
a |= (*(UWORD*)((hw->base + (offset+1)*UHCMEMSIZE)) >> 0) ;
return a ;
}

Version 2: OK
#define UHCMEMSIZE 2
/* read word with conversion Intel -> Motorola from UHC124 memory. */
static UWORD HW_ReadWORDM(struct Hardware *hw, ULONG offset)
{
UWORD a ;
UBYTE *addr = hw->base + offset*UHCMEMSIZE ;
a = (*(UWORD*)((addr + 0*UHCMEMSIZE)) >> 8) ;
a |= (*(UWORD*)((addr + 1*UHCMEMSIZE)) >> 0) ;
return a ;
}

No. It's a Sirion *like* software for older cpu and Amigas Os.
Just need a uhc124 compatible device, like Subway or Highway.

Sorry, the unclickable link was my fault. I'll fix that.

I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

I hope you saw my sarcasm. I don't care if the link is clickable or not. It's easy for me to paste it.

The compiler functioned correctly. You told it to produce huge code so it did. When you told it to produce small code it did. Please remove the slander against SASC. It did NOT generate "huge code for nothing".

No offense at all. Errare humanum est.
No slainder against SASC, I use it since 1992 and it's a really good compiler for C code, probably the best for Amiga. I read again the documentation to see how to use global optimizer features yesterday and checked the produced code: 42 instructions => 4 instructions.
