Benchmarks For gcc-3.1

Posted by timothy on from the starting-gate-opens dept.

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."

    Check out the Borland C++ compiler. It produces some crappy code but it sure is fast doing it. I use it to start off my projects - I use gcc to finish them off and make them cross platform. Using two comilers can also have debugging benefits - one will balk on somthig that the other passes by, or a logical error will become apparent on one and not the other.
