I’m evaluating Visual C++ 10 optimizing compiler on trivial code samples so see how good the machine code emitted and I’m out of creative usecases so far.
Is there some sample codebase that is typically used to evaluate how good an optimizing C++ compiler is?
The only valid benchmark is one that simulates the type of code you’re developing. Optimizers react differently to different applications and different coding styles, and the only one that really counts is the code that you are going to be compiling with the compiler.
