It is not intended to be an intro for beginners to compiler optimization. It is intended to describe to someone who understands compiler optimizations, and works on other compilers, how to do things they want to do, in gcc. The docbook source for it is at http://www.dberlin.org/gccopt/optimize.sgml (it's really an xml file, however). Feel free to write a few lines, or whatever, and send it to me. I'll happily integrate it and add your name to the list of contributors. If you don't do docbook, that's okay, just send me the text, and i'll mark it up for you. While i'm happy to take contributions, please don't send me gripes or complaints. I'm quite aware it sucks right now. It's a start. Contribute, and maybe it won't suck anymore. --Dan
