TinyC has not similar perfomance to gcc and clang, its actually slower as Stephan already mentioned.
Thats the price one has to pay for the much smaller compiler, it loses a lot of optimisations. Clement from what you saying its clear my idea would not work at all, the advantage of tinyC is that is 10 times faster than gcc and clang for compilation but the FFI overheads would kill performance indeed. And if the code becomes much larger it does not make sense to use a C inliner as it would be cleaner and easier to just keep the C code separate. Ben TinyC has been abandoned by the original author but it is now even more actively developed because several people have stepped in his place , its git repo can be found here http://repo.or.cz/w/tinycc.git its not near as actively developed as gcc or clang of course but its not inactive either. Anyway this is obviously a ton more work than I am willing to invest and with no real benefit, so thanks for opening my eyes. Back to something far more simple. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/A-new-idea-for-a-project-WarpSpeed-a-C-inliner-tp4881273p4881469.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
