Couldn't they just turn the optimization off for this loop?

  They didn't have the code for the offensive program, they were creating the emulator to run it on a different architecture.

  Which optimizer replaces a 64k loop with 64k instructions? Ah, yes. Microsoft's!
  • selcuka 4mo ago
    There is no indication that the compiler that produced the code was Microsoft's. Actually the article hints otherwise ("[...] whatever compiler was used to compile this code").

      Who has been validating that approach to solve their own optimization target?
