When I tried C, I got a single error multiple times for two different programs. I think my version of gcc is just too old. However, I would start by taking programs from TBG and changing them into K&R C (or vanilla C99) using #ifdefs to preserve the originals. Just as we want 'canonical' perl6, it would be useful to have 'canonical' versions of other languages. TBG already keeps multiple submissions per language/algorithm pair. In the one case in which I have personally compared C and perl5, I discovered that -O6 is at least as smart as I am. It would be interesting to see what effect compiler flags have both in C and Rakudo/Parrot. Will Coleda already suggested --optimize and as the platform matures, I'd expect various levels of optimization to be available. -- --gh
