- Twirrim 9y agoReads like maybe it's an enhanced version of Clang, with custom optimisations? http://developer.amd.com/wordpress/media/2017/04/AOCC-User-guide-%E2%80%94-AOCC-LLVM-1.pdf http://developer.amd.com/wordpress/media/2017/04/AOCC-User-g... It's a bit hard to make out.
- xoroshiro 9y agoI don't understand. What's wrong with gcc/llvm and why not contribute to those projects directly? I thought -march=native was supposed to handle things like this?
- helb 9y agoIf i understood it correctly, they are in fact contributing to llvm/clang and this is just a binary release with some EULA stuff. Here's a Phoronix thread about it. Most posts are… well, garbage, but there are some from an user named "bridgman" who apparently works at AMD: https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/phoronix/latest-phoronix-articles/951916-amd-releases-optimizing-c-c-compiler-for-ryzen?p=951956#post951956 https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/phoronix/latest-phoron...
- xoroshiro 9y agoThanks! Definitely helped clarify some stuff. I guess I should be more careful about assuming things next time.
