[Boost-users] [Test] Testing generated code.

I have written type safe wrappers around some math operations that I 
need to use everywhere and I expect and rely on them being equivalent to 
the handcoded or macro based approach for performance reasons.

I tend to check the resulting assembly by hand every so often and it 
surprises me from time to time to see that inefficiencies have crept in.

If I write a routine in C and a routine using the type safe wrappers 
that I expect to have equivalent generated assembly is there a way to 
test that this is indeed the case?

Can anyone else think of a better way to make sure that register usage 
is optimal, proper inlining is occurring, etc?

Thanks,

Michael Marcin
