Why aren't you using TCC, Jow Forums? It compiles things 35x faster than GCC.

GCC beats the shit out of tcc in terms of code optimization. End of discussion.

i use clang
Hunter Rogers
Are there any newer comparisons like
lists.gnu.org
Aaron Lopez
That isn't what it's made for. I use it for recompiling things really quickly to see changes. If I want a small and optimized executable, I'll use MSVC because even GCC sucks for that.
Matthew James
MSVC can't be faster because it wastes binary size and performance in injecting microsoft telemetry spyware into binaries.

C code compilation isn't slow enough for me to bother switching from GCC to anything else. If I was really being bogged down, I'd use Clang, since LLVM at least has some decent optimizations that approach what GCC has.
David Ramirez
Also, looking at the TCC website, it seems their comparisons are to very old versions of GCC. Even their "more up to date tests" are from 2013.
I don't want to see your comparison with old as dust shit, I want to see how your compiler compares to GCC 7.4 or GCC 8.2. And hell, if your compiler is so good, why isn't it on Godbolt so we can compare assembly outputs?
Zachary Rodriguez
Remember tccboot?
I'm gonna try to do the same thing with a whole distro around it like gentoo but with tcc as the core compiler and everything will be written in C
..once i get my thinkpad

You can compare it right now.
Nobody is stopping you.
GCC code gen is obviously better, but TCC has other advantages.
Parker Kelly
Sounds like starting from buildroot would be easier.
Liam Davis
I want to make a minimal environment that can compile itself quickly, buildroot doesn't even have an option to add a compiler to the host system.
Justin Evans
Packaging stuff for buildroot is piss easy. So adding a package for GCC and TCC should not be a problem.
Caleb Thompson
still pointless because i would have to make a program to get the source code, compile it and build the system natively any way
Wyatt Davis
Hahahahahah
