How's your defence preparation going?
The defense is finished and went well. I expect to wrap up my revisions
next week.
What's the flag to switch on the new path?
For reasons that are no long obvious to me, there used to be two flags,
but after I submit my next patch (after validating), -fnew-codegen should
work.
I'll look forward to the day when you say "it can be on by default", so
we can delete all the old code! Worth doing some simple compile-time tests
(use nofib) to see if compile times increase when using the new path.
Agreed. I compared the new codegen with the old codegen (on nofib) before
I left Microsoft, and I recall a minor uptick in compile times. I haven't
looked into the causes yet.
Cheers,
John
