[Openmcl-devel] how does one cause stack-allocation for floats?

[james anderson]

hello;

i last asked about this months (years?) ago and recall that the  
answer was, "eventually".
unfortunately, that mail archive is not any more and, fortunately,  
open-mcl is at least .5 versions further, so i ask again.

?
1. how does one get open-mcl to stack-allocate floats?
i was not able to find any suggestions in the documentation, so, if i  
missed it, please send the pointer.

2. is the timing difference just consing overhead?


i enclose a simple test file. nothing obvious seems to work.
a listener transcript follows and the file is attached below.

thanks,
...
