: Hi DJGPP users !
: I've a little question and hope that's not off-topic. I read many
: times about quality of created executables by DJGPP v2.x+, which can
: compare to code created by commercial products as Watcom, Borland,
: Symantec, MVisual and other C++s in speed and size, but nowhere I read
: about comparing performance(speed, compiling time) of DJGPP compiler and
: linker with by example a newer version of Watcom C++. I and nobody from
: my friends has no access to this expensive compiler to testing it. I'm
: interested in any info about experience with Watcom's compiler&linker's
: performance(with and without optimization).
: Thank you
: Tremor
I don't have any actual tests, but I can tell you that DJGPP's code is
just as fast for me as Watcom 11.0's... I, however, have a 486 so things
may be different on a Pentium since WC11 is supposed to do great
optimizations for the Pentium... So what I can tell you is that DJGPP's
code is just as fast if not faster than other compilers, but it's
compilation time is a little bit slower (making lots of optimizations I
would presume.)
BTW - You are not Tremor/Dubius, are you?
