Hi Steven,
FWIW, this sounds great and all... but I haven't actually seen any
comparisons of GCC vs. LLVM with DragonEgg. A search with Google
doesn't give me any results.
Can you point out some postings where people actually made a
comparison between GCC and LLVM with DragonEgg?
I gave some comparisons in my talk at the 2009 LLVM developers meeting.
See the links at the bottom of http://dragonegg.llvm.org/
Since then I've been working on completeness and correctness, and didn't
do any additional benchmarking yet. I don't know if anyone else did any
benchmarking. If so they didn't inform me.
Duncan,
It would be interesting to know what the Sqlite3 -O3/-O2 benchmarks
show for llvm 2.7. I benchmarked about a 14% improvement in the
Polyhedron 2005 benchmarks over a 13 month period of llvm development.
Perhaps the current numbers look a bit better.
This kind of summarizes where the interest for dragonegg lies. :-P
