Hmm. Section 7.4 shows an example of an algorithm coded in Ada and C
where the optimizer can make the Ada code run twice as fast as the C. I
knew it was theoreticaly possible for this to happen, due to the extra
info Ada's types provide the compiler. However, I was under the
impression that Gnat/gcc wasn't able to take advantage of this
information. Is this right?
