Hello,
Does anyone have any idea as to why the Delphi 3.0/4.0 compiler is so
blindlingly fast ? On my last crude check it was approaching 800
KLOC/minute. Apart from lcc does anyone know of any other fast
compilers for C or Java.
Cheers,
Kirk.
[Turbo C in its early versions was very fast, as was Ken Thompson's
Plan 9 C compiler. Obvious though it may seem, the reason that most
compilers these days are slow is that compile speed isn't a big
priority for most compiler developers, who are more worried about code
quality. -John]
