Subject: Re: [PATCH] memory: of_memory.c: remove unnecessary initialization
Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2012 15:26:36 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAEk7JKakQRPKEoi+vkF2KexB1d_G+BN-PZQT-QDNEeOrkVm0Vg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Infact, your patch does remove an orl operation, but add a new "move" operation.

You can test such two functions:
int func1(int rm1, int rm2){
        int i = 0;
        i |= rm1;
        i |= rm2;
}

and

int func(int rm1, int rm2){
        int i;
        i = rm1;
        i |= rm2;
}

Use gcc to compile them to assemble with "-S" operation, and you will find it.
