Hello All! I've been using gccgo from GCC 4.8.2 (which fully supports 1.1.2 as they claimed) for a while now and I've got something to share with you.
First of all I was surprised that there is a lot of source code duplication. GCC' libgo/go directory contains the entire golang/src/pkg directory (with a very few changes if any). I thought GCC has its own golang's library implementation. Second - gccgo doesn't really improves situation with different architectures support (mostly due to that was said above regarding code duplication). Although it's possible to compile things on PowerPC (and I suppose on s390(x) as well) the resulting binaries refuse to run throwing error message about an unsupported architecture. Otherwise it looks quite good - everything works well. Also from the visible changes the resulting binaries are significantly smaller (from megabytes to hundreds of kilobytes) if anyone still care about this. -- With best regards, Peter Lemenkov. _______________________________________________ golang mailing list golang@lists.fedoraproject.org https://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/golang
