To do something like optimizing major mode accesses in arrays would require global optimizations. The compiler can't optimize misuse of arrays in my view. Pointers forces you to think on theese kinds. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Stefan 'Stetson' Skoglund I | sp2stes1@ida.his.se I | I _____/0\_____ I ____________O(.)O___________ H\"ogskolan i Sk\"ovde, Sverige I I-+-I O I-+-I I I Viggen with two Rb04 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
