Re: GCC3.0 Produce REALLY slower code!

2001-06-25 Thread Alexander V. Bilichenko

There is not so much code in asm, so it's easy to patch code
the most reasonable method is to write parsing program for that

2001-06-25 Thread Alexander V. Bilichenko

Although I just wanna say that there is no reason trying compile kernel with
new shiny GCC 3.0 ;-). The result will be in kernel slowdown.

Maybe, we can try to use Intel C compiler for some important ;-) (beta
version work with linux).

GCC3.0 Produce REALLY slower code!

2001-06-24 Thread Alexander V. Bilichenko

Hello All!
Some tests that I have recently check out.
kernel compiled with 3.0 (2.4.5) function call: 100 iteration. 3% slower
than 2.95.
test example - hash table add/remove - 4% slower (compiled both
with -O2 -march=i686).
Why have this version been released?
