Hi Archaeologist,
Thanks for getting back to me.
I should have explained this, but my problems with the "code behavior" ( at least for what I expected ) happened when I added the optimization ( -O0 ) flag and the speed ( --opt_for_speed=3 ) flag that are shown in the "Summary of flags set:" area of the picture shown. So my first question is how to remove these two flags so the compiler goes back to it's default settings?
I'll work on getting the C ( and resulting assembly code ) example code for my second question a bit later today. But if you can let me know how to get rid of these two flags before then it would help in figuring what "optimization case" to send.
Thanks again,
Tom
