 		 #133384 - Here's Why...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Because C Compilers are complex pieces of software that are difficult to tune to be all things to all people.

For example, the *a++=*b++ statement has over 6 kernel reductions (if I counted correctly) to generate the code that it does. There is no single place to put in the suggested changes.
