A question about integers

Will

Code:

int i = 10000000;
i++;

take more time to process than

Code:

int i = 0;
i++;

?

No.

They will both compile down to

Code:

push 1000000
inc [&#37;%sp]

and

Code:

push 0
inc [%%sp]

push 1000001

IMO both your assembly variants are unlikely. The OP's code shows no reason to push the int at all because it's not going to be passed as a function parameter.

I'd say discussing assembly details here is moot anyway and not really helpful to the OP...

EDIT: Ok, I need to take back my statement about no need to push the int as the variable is just being constructed.

Looks like I wrote the post too quickly. But the second paragraph still holds true IMO...

Probably not on -O0
