Benchmarks For gcc-3.1
Isle writes: "Another good story found via OSNews.
Scott Robert Ladd has updated his
GCC vs Intel C++ compiler benchmark. Now you can find gcc 3.1 benchmarked against gcc 3.0.4 and icc 6.0.
The summary must be that gcc 3.1 is a lot faster than gcc 3.0.4 for very abstract C++ code, but icc is still slightly faster overall."
I'm really am curious of how you develop.
I personally just write the code down, compile, run with debugger. I note worst mistakes, write them down, correct values in memory and continue test run until it've gone as far as it can without modifying code.
After this all is done, I correct code with my notes, and begin it all over again.
With this use, actual compiling is not slow if it takes 3-5 mins.
yeah, daily recompile load is about 700k C++ code + 200k headers (+100k vendors).
Some time ago I had to recompile with P133, and it took (with watcom 11.0c) approx 7min, which _felt_ like a lot. at the same time I was able to modify code in emacs, so that wasn't such a bad deal until we had a really fast call.
fucktard is a tenderhearted description
Absolutely. Anybody who uses a single compiler on an important project (at least during the development stage) is just begging for problems later on down the road.
You cannot apply a technological solution to a sociological problem. (Edwards' Law)
Considering that GCC 2.9x is still shipping with most distros, and is the only one that compiles the kernel yet, why not show some comparisons with it, in addition to GCC 3.x and ICC? Why only benchmark fringe compilers, when a vast majority of Linux users will be rocking the older compiler?
