gnat3.10 optimization O2 on win95 - problem

[William Paul Berriss <strberis@reading.ac.uk>]

Hi

Just to sya that I have compiled a program that uses lots and lots
of for loops (nested too) and on gnat 3.07 with optimization
-O2 and-O3 on solaris unix and red hat linux it take about 50 seconds to
run.

BUT, on gnat3.10 on win95 with -O2 optimization it seems to take
forever, it just stops (well looks like it does, heaven knows
what it is doing) near the start.
BUT with no optimization on win95 gnat3.10 it runs just fine,
taking about a minute as per gnat3.07.

So I would suggest that the -O2 optimizer on gnat3.10 for Win95
is a bit faulty.
Have others noticed this? I see no mention on the newsgroup today.

Any advice? knowledge to share on this matter?

Thank in advance
