Hello everybody,
I am building up a library using xmm and mmx registers in Linux environment. At the begin of this activity I was given a sample routine, which contains a line
.align 16
in a text segment. As far as I can understand the line of the sort does not have any sense and GCC-compiler must ignore it. Nevertheless I noticed by running test programs that unpredictably some times the line does impact on execution time, sometimes it does not.
Any explanation ?
