Wow! That's very interesting and despite what I said at the outset, I've
got your updated code and will now be referring to it. I see a few rough
edges but it appears you're already aware of some of them. It's a shame
more of the spare layout code wasn't potentially shareable.
I think I really have to get some comparative measurements on code size
and performance at least. It's tricky when there is no common hardware.
Not even a common architecture (given Jurgen's SAM9260 port isn't public).
And no common chip even then. I think that unless someone is willing to
port one or other to a common piece of hardware, then the only recourse is
the synthetic target.
I've now built both implementations and run all tests successfully on
synth for both. Now I "just" need to finish porting rwbenchmark.c to (R).
