gcc generates 30% faster faster code than egcs, see the
new_ia32_branch for the code. :-) So their claim that they generate
10-30% faster code than gcc is becoming less meaningful. I would love
to see how they stack up against that branch. If worse, why consider
pgcc?
Our hope is that that work can be finished off and tested and put in
gcc for the next major release after the 2.95 release.
Run your application with both compilers and let us know _your_
results. Your actual results are in a way more interesting to you,
and helps us know what random people might experience with the new
compiler.
This is _one_ way to help contribute and not have to know anything
about compilers. :-)
