I didn't say I was against them. However, they do make a considerable number of the registers inaccessable to the programmer at any given point in the program. I prefer explicit caches. That is, 'temp' registers which can be loaded/stored from the general purpose regs and/or memory by explicit instructions. Cray temporary registers are examples of this. Your register addresses remain manageably small, you just have a few additional instructions. J. Giles
