cr1901 changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, and CD theory of operation are also on-topic. Channel logs: https://libera.irclog.whitequark.org/~h~yamahasynths

Man, I was working on a cyrix SBC once, trying to get a computer vision model running before there were embedded GPUs. Nothing I did made it perform better until I added -O2.
<tunixman>
Oops.
<qu1j0t3>
lol
<qu1j0t3>
we've all done it
<qu1j0t3>
sgi famously did it

I suspect sm64's optimizations being disabled wasn't on accident

cr19011: timing concerns ya think?
<tunixman>
that or optimization bugs or both... I think for awhile (if not still) the linux kernel needed to be compiled by a specific gcc range with specific flags because they exploited compiler and optimizer bugs.
<tunixman>
weirdos. as we can see from openssl that's not great.
<qu1j0t3>
hm, yes, bugs. good point.
<tunixman>
But you know, mere mortals can't understand crypto code if openssl is your reference frame.
<qu1j0t3>
they're always there, somewhere, like a caterpillar in your salad.
cr19011 is now known as cr1901
<cr1901>
My guess is there were optimization bugs, and the game ran "just fine" in unoptimized mode

tunixman: specific gcc range currently means not too old only, and linus does clang compiles in his tests. The situation is not that dire there
<tunixman>
This was a long time ago. I knew about clang and once they started targeting that as well the requirements changed.
<qu1j0t3>
Sarayan: Yes, a friend did a clang build recently, not that i keep up with such things.
<qu1j0t3>
i imagine the kernel is a reasonable compiler workout...
<tunixman>
It was one of the targets clang used to exercise gcc compatibility I think.
<tunixman>
Oh man since "Linux 5.12..." things have come a long way since my 2.6 days...
