Serious question, why do we need yet another C compiler?
- blacklion 3y agoDifferent compilers rely in different UBs for code optimization. So, it is very useful to compile OSS projects with different compilers, it helps find more bugs and make sources more standard-complaint and portable
- musicale 3y agoEventually we may get one that works properly and supports useful features like bounds checking, stacks that grow upward rather than downward, trapping on undefined behavior, etc. We might even get a new and more robust libc - maybe one that even supports static compilation.
