- Subject: [ECOS] Silly question about ARM thumb
If the code is smaller and faster, why aren't all ARM programs compiled
w/ARM thumb?
Tell me about the downside, I can live with the upside :-)
I'm pretty happy with code-size on the Atmel EB40a, so I'm a bit
averse to changing things.
This posting quotes 20% code size decrease and 50% speed increase.
