that produces object code that is worse than the straightforward or obvious
hand translation. The implication is that the compiler is actually trying
to optimize the program, but through excessive cleverness is doing the
opposite. A few pessimizing compilers have been written on purpose,
however, as pranks or burlesques.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="pessimal.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../P.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="peta-.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">pessimal </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> peta-</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
