Hi, Raymond, As far as I know, GCC4SS is much better than gcc/g++ (3.4.x) bundled in Solaris sfw. It uses SunStudio as the back-end to do the code generation. You may refer to the blog by alexey for the benchmark of gcc/gcc4ss/sunstudio, http://blogs.sun.com/alexey/entry/gcc_vs_gccfss_vs_studio.
PS., I assume that the code generator of gcc/g++ on x86 has comparable performance (or even better) with sunstudio. Maybe this the reason why there is no gcc4xs :) Regards, Raymond Xiong ??: > On 04/08/08, Yong Sun wrote: > >> Hi, Raymond, >> >> I'm just interested are you using gcc/g++ or SunStudio compiler to build >> Erlang? >> > > Yes, gcc/g++ only.
