QuoteThe 'optimizing' book appears quite useful.  It describes different situations, which code to use, and even explains why to use them.

For example, it talks about the use of INC and DEC, and says you should generally look to replace them with ADD and SUB instead.  The reason?  INC and DEC do not affect all flags, while ADD and SUB do.  This could lead to subtle programming errors from the former's usage if you are expecting all flags to change.

It even has examples on optimizing C code for the Intel compilers.

hmm, perhaps I should look more closely, then!  I just flipped through it and put it on my bookshelf, but I put vol. 2 beside my computer :)
This'll make an interesting test for broken AV:

Did anyone get their AMD books yet?
I haven't gotten anything yet. I got fed up and ordered the other 3 books from Intel just now.

I finally ordered the Intel ones.  I don't know if I'll bother with the AMD ones, though...

Yes, AMD seems slower.  And they also seem useless, but more books have never hurt anybody (well, unless they fell on him I guess..)
