Fun fact: A full build of libfirm is faster than LLVM's configure.
The compilation process is one of C++ greatest weaknesses. Since the iteration speed (change-compile-runtest) is a significant productivity factor, C can be more productive than C++. On the other hand, D shows that a language with a comparable feature set to C++ can be compiled much faster.
- rayiner 14y agoI just compiled libfirm and cparser last night on the train home. Cparser compiled so fast I thought the build was broken. Indeed, C++ compile times are unreasonable even with Clang.
