#135094 - Beware.
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Adding two floating point numbers, perhaps, or calculate a sin and throw away the result? There's not too much which can be optimised in that...

If the compiler realized that you are "throwing away" the result (i.e. not using it), it'll optimize the whole operation out.

   use util/delay.h and read the lib documents            01/01/70 00:00      
   optimization = lost control            01/01/70 00:00      
   well that is the first mistake            01/01/70 00:00      
      First mistake is using a HLL            01/01/70 00:00      
   Optimise & kill code            01/01/70 00:00      
      optimizers and NASA            01/01/70 00:00      
   There are many levels in Keil            01/01/70 00:00      
      not always a good idea            01/01/70 00:00
