the potential performance benefits of llvm jit and/or post-link optimizer could be enormous.
phoronix recently did a head to head test of gcc vs llvm and clang and recent gcc has pulled ahead of llvm, however the test did not specify any of the post-link advantages were in play from the llvm-gcc option or from clang. LLVM produces an intermediary code before emitting final object code. this IR can be run in a re-linking jit compiler or optimized as a static binary for a single architecture. this IR is specific to the compiler hosting the libraries and headers, so it's not as portable as java class files but managed configurations are attainable, such as apple's X-code demonstrates. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
