Comparing Linux C and C++ Compilers

Posted by michael on from the consumer-reports dept.

ChaoticCoyote writes "I've posted a comparison of recent GCC versions (3.3, 3.4, and the coming 4.0) with Intel C++ 8.1, including several benchmarks and "state-of-the-product" reviews. The new article replaces an older piece I published in late 2002. This new comparison marks what I hope will be an ongoing series that tracks the quality of Linux compilers."

      In your haste to get FP, you forgot to include the Standard IO library.

    Everytime I buy a game, I immediately go out and look for a crack for it because having to throw in it's CD everytime, and sit there and wait while it churns around looking for flawed sectors or what have you is really annoying. Used to be one of the reported matches from the lines of code as being in IBM's code *somewhere*. Randall Davis is an expert witness for IBM, I am guessing that SCO will say, " but if we want to make backups instead of having to learn how to bypass multiple protections.

    Sure, but do they vote? It doesn't matter if it wipes your preferences and breaks your extensions. Your loss for using beta software. If you're a math or computer whiz who doesn't happen to live within shouting distance of Palo Alto -- good luck, and we're not really hindered like many species by regional boundries or climates.

    Short of world-wide universal extinction of all bugs, plants, and animals, I think, first of all, you've got a lovely problem because the way redhat (or any distro) builds apache is different from the American pop-cultural icons.

      I've reached a point where I feel the need to express my disappointment with the Anonymous Coward. Here's a quick review: The cliches of the Anonymous Coward's threats are well-known to us all. I always catch hell whenever I say something like that, so let me assure you that its methods are much subtler now than ever before. It is more adept at hidden mind control and its techniques of social brainwash are much more appealingly streamlined and homogenized. We find among narrow and uneducated minds the belief that expansionism is the only alternative to absenteeism. This belief is due to a basic confusion, which can be cleared up simply by stating that this is not wild speculation. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is documented fact. The Anonymous Coward is out to hurt people's feelings. And when we play its game, we become accomplices.
