i know - my question was - how does that look using msvc...
The recent speed improvements in git-head have improve both the
DMC-based and MSVC-based DMD executables. It shaved off from 700msecs
on small projects up to 4 seconds on large projects for clean builds
(for me).
That being said the MSVC built compiler is usually twice as fast as
the DMC built one. It goes to show that whatever is in that DMC
backend is long outdated.
I asked Walter about that recently, he says that with all the focus on D
there hasn't been enough time to seriously develop the backend in a LONG
time. IIRC he said it's been something like 15 years since it's seen any
serious development work...
NOTE: It came up because I was asking about getting things like
auto-vectorization and Haswell's new Transactional Synchronization
Extensions and the related instructions into the backend.
