My counterproposal: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
- keep the useflags |
| 8 |
- add an eclass with the guessing logic from gcc |
| 9 |
- add an useflag to let people decide the priority between gcc decisions |
| 10 |
or useflag decisions. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
So: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
- don't have to wait for per package cflags |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
- have the hopefully best results if you don't really care (gcc guess) |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
- if you care do whatever you want, eg: turn cflags for vector units AND |
| 19 |
autovectorized and shut down hand vectorized code (yes it could be dump |
| 20 |
if the handmade stuff isn't wrong) |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Sounds fair or I'm missing something? |
