Tim,
Did you know that we don't use any compiler optimizations with Xfractint?
Using -O2 works wonders. There is a small patch required to get the
assembly language mandelbrot running again (need to push and pop two
registers) when optimizations are used.
I am also starting to go through the code with the -Wall option. I will
look into using "indent" or something similar to clean up the indenting.
And, I will start looking at the parser assembly code. I may try to put the
optimizations in the C code for portability reasons, and port to assembly
later.
In my spare time, I'm trying to move away from Windows. I need to get an
external DSL modem for home (a Cisco 675 or 678). There aren't any Linux
drivers available for the internal one I now use.
