It's something we saw in highschool, I would expect anyone with a CS degree to recognize this optimization.
I barely know anything about compiler optimization, so I have no clue whether a compiler applying this optimization is surprising or something trivial.
- saagarjha 10mo agoImplementing this in a compiler is nontrivial.
- CorrectHorseBat 10mo agoYes, that was clear to me from the article and the discussion. My point is that to someone who knows about Gauss' formula but doesn't know anything about compilers might not understand what the fuss is about.
