Hello,

I am trying to see if ARM-ELF-GCC is good enough for release code or 
it is just a way to start.

Did anyone do comparason on GCC and other complers, like IAR for 
example?
Does GCC have a lot of bugs?

Here is what I found when I tried a small program!
//////// C code ////////////
REGISTER=10;
///////////////////////////
The prevous line will translate with 4 assembly lines knowing only 3 
is needed. If REGISTER is at address 0x80001000 The compiler is 
loading Rx with 0x80000000 then it is adding 0x1000 to Rx then it is 
using Rx as a location to place 10.

Why it is doing the add step? Am I missing something here?

All the best,
Gus
