Is there some kind of benchmark war going on between different compilers? Where they want want to prove they can produce the absolute fastest code possible, but only use single threaded apps and screw those that must support multi-threaded applications. My phone and my camera have multicore systems. Single threaded is not the way of the future. Which ever compiler makes it easier to write multi-threaded applications is going to win, regardless of how well a compiler can claim they optimize code the best for a single threaded app. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
