Makes me think that we should at least experiment with it to make sure
are issues we have with it will be fixed in a .1 or so and we'll be able
to use that.
I've got a build of gcc-4.8.0 on Linux along with all the previous major
versions which I often use for testing. I'm trying a full build now; is
there any specific test that would be worth doing? A full run of the
unit tests maybe? Or even some performance testing on a relevant benchmark?
I think all of that would be interesting. Not sure how to see results
from the Graphite or PRE changes mentioned in that article. Also not
sure what the DWARF changes actually mean for us.
In terms of perf, what would be interesting would be gcc 4.5 vs. 4.8
with the same options we use to compile Linux Nightly builds.
But I'm just guessing there. People like e.g. Mike Hommey probably know
more on what would be interesting there.
