Hi,

I am working on Windows CE 5.0 for ARM platform.
I am trying to compare the performance of MS compiler with ARM's rvct
compiler.

To do this,
1.) I am generating assembly from rvct
2.) I am using MS tools (assembler/linker) on the assembly file.

I thought that linker/assembler should work on any assembly file.
But while executing the code, there was a data abort.
The reason for the abort was that some assembly lines in the running
code were missing as compared to what was in the assembly file
generated by rvct.

What can be the reasons for this ?
Is some optimization done by MS assembler ?
If yes, how can it be turned off ?
Compiler optimization options are not working on it as one may expect
and i was unable to find any optimization flags in the assembler ?

Any feedback or suggestion is welcome.

Regards,
Salil
