Yeah I didn't look into it, it would require libgccjit from a recent-ish lang/gcc port (op@ said lang/gcc/8 wasn't enough). Timo Myyra has sent a patch for lang/gcc: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&s=gccjit I haven't tried this yet and I don't know how much it can speed up emacs, but it will require careful thinking. People who want it, feel free to beat me to it. :) -- jca | PGP : 0x1524E7EE / 5135 92C1 AD36 5293 2BDF DDCC 0DFA 74AE 1524 E7EE
