Why Intel and MS compilers are surpassing it?
Honestly, I never coded last years on any Microsoft systems (except back
in the MSDOS 3 days). I know some colleagues, very familiar with
Microsoft, who still occasionally use GCC (in particular, they seems to
find GCC diagnostic messages better than MS Studio one's).
As VC9 has no auto-vectorization, and supports only SSE2, one would hope
it does well where those limitations are appropriate.
I haven't been able to wrap my mind around its non-standard treatment of
cases where a variable name is shadowed in an inner scope, and there is a
break from the inner scope.
