I think there's a confusion here between diffs and patches. I would call the thing you're describing a patch, not a diff, and then everything makes much more sense. (This is not helped by the fact that diffs often come with a .pa

It doesn't become subjective; things in -O3 can objectively be understood to produce equal or faster code for a higher build cost in the vast majority of cases, roughly averaged across platforms. (Without loss in correctness.) If you k
