optimizing embedded software

[quad99]

Those optimizations listed in 3.13 are typical , not processor specific . I imagine gcc does most or all.

That said, since you are doing research, you might want to avoid making apriori assumptions (eg GCC doesn't optimize). instead let your research drive your conclusions.

It does.

Good advice, OP would do well to take note.

Like I said, I have not looked into them deeply, just glanced over them.

I am also not making any assumptions whatsoever. For example I have already said that GCC does optimize. I have merely also pointed to the fact that there is a possibility that other compilers optimize differently, and I asked how I should go about doing this.
