The compiler ran fine, but when I executed the code, I got "Bad Instruction 4". I'm seeing some other mentions on this mailing list of issues like this on OSX (I'm using 10.8). Is there anything I need to change to enable fastcc with my compiler? I also tried the X86FastCCCallingConv and that died with the same error. <br>

There are optimizer passes that will automatically promote internal symbols to 'fastcc' when it's safe to do so. If you only extern symbols that actually need external linkage, then the calling convention becomes the optimizer's problem.<div>
