 |

 |

| 6 | 
 | 
|---|
| 7 |     The _Optlink implementation differs from VACPP implementation in the
 | 
|---|
| 8 |     following ways:
 | 
|---|
| 9 | 
 | 
|---|
| 10 |     o _Optlink is not enabled unless you enable optimization (-O).
 | 
|---|
| 11 | 
 | 
|---|
| 12 |     o The floating-point parameters are always passed on stack, never in
 | 
|---|
| 13 |       FPU registers.
 | 
|---|
| 14 | 
 | 
|---|
| 15 |     Use _Optlink for VACPP compatibility only. If you want performance,
 | 
|---|
| 16 |     use the __attribute__((regparm=x)), where x is the number of parameters
 | 
|---|
| 17 |     to be passed in registers (_Optlink uses three). The 'regparm' calling
 | 
|---|
| 18 |     convention is much more optimal than _Optlink: it does not allocate
 | 
|---|
| 19 |     stack for parameters passed in registers (and does not store registers
 | 
|---|
| 20 |     in that location right at the function entry), does not have the strange
 | 
|---|
| 21 |     limit of 12 arguments ('eyecatcher bitfields') considered for conformance
 | 
|---|
| 22 |     and other benefits.
