that produces object code that is worse than the straightforward or obvious
hand translation. The implication is that the compiler is actually trying

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>
