I did some tests with 8cc (because it's easier to build than scc for me). My results are that the binaries aren't identical. Here's a script so you can try to reproduce it.
#!/bin/sh mkdir test_comp cd test_comp git clone https://github.com/rui314/8cc mv 8cc 1c cp -r 1c 2c cp -r 1c Ac cp -r 1c Bc # compile 8cc with gcc cd 1c make cc=gcc # compile 8cc with clang cd ../2c make cc=clang # compile 8cc with 8cc # using the binary that # was compiled with gcc cd ../Ac make cc=../1c/8cc # compile 8cc with 8cc # using the binary that # was compiled with clang cd ../Bc make cc=../2c/8cc cd .. # compare binaries md5sum Ac/8cc Bc/8cc On Tue, Jul 5, 2016 at 2:24 PM, Quentin Rameau <quinq@fifth.space> wrote: >> So let's consider 3 situations. >> 1-- Compile scc with gcc.
