#125039 - experience and knowledge
Responding to: ???'s previous message
And, if you don't believe in correctness of optimisations - how can you believe in the compiler compiling OK at all?
experience and knowledge.

you experience that the compiler works good when you use your knowledge not to abuse the language.

the most frequent 'abuse' of C is to forget the old TTT, but you can, of course do that as well in assembler, it just takes a bit more observance in C.
