GNU Info (g77-300.info)Compiler SpeedCompiler Speed -------------- Saving the steps of writing and then rereading C code is a big reason why `g77' should be able to compile code much faster than using `f2c' in conjunction with the equivalent invocation of `gcc'. However, due to `g77''s youth, lots of self-checking is still being performed. As a result, this improvement is as yet unrealized (though the potential seems to be there for quite a big speedup in the future). It is possible that, as of version 0.5.18, `g77' is noticeably faster compiling many Fortran source files than using `f2c' in conjunction with `gcc'. automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
