Write great code

Аннотация

This book will teach you how to choose appropriate HLL statements that translate into efficient machine code with a modern optimizing com-piler. In most cases, different HLL statements provide many ways to achieve a given result, some of which, at the machine level, are naturally more effi-cient than others. Though there may be a very good reason for choosing a less efficient statement sequence over a more efficient one (for example, readability), the truth is that most software engineers have no idea about HLL statement runtime costs and thus are unable to make an educated choice. The goal of this book is to change that.
