- jcelerier 6y agoGCC is literally the compiler that produces the fastest code in most cases
- petr_tik 6y agoWhile clang and LLVM is the set of compiler libraries that people write and extend developer tooling in: * clangd * clang-tidy * clang error messages * mlir And others
- staticassertion 6y agoSometimes. GCC is also far older - about twice the age or more compared to llvm. Do you think that your statement will be as true in 10 years?
- saagarjha 6y agoYes, since it’s been true for about the last 10.
- pirocks 6y agoMy understanding is that for Intel cpus Intel compiler is substantially better than gcc.
- jcelerier 6y ago> My understanding is that for Intel cpus Intel compiler is substantially better than gcc. It's not, except for super specific workloads. Intel's own Intel-CPU-optimized distro, Clear Linux, is built mostly with GCC as a conscious performance decision: https://docs.01.org/clearlinux/latest/guides/clear/performance.html#a-benchmark-approach-to-compiler-performance https://docs.01.org/clearlinux/latest/guides/clear/performan... ICC was for a very long time quite superior to MSVC tho.
