Comparing compile times and binary size for GCC compiling a few GCC releases

2013-03-16 Thread Steven Bosscher
Hello, Below are some compile times and sizes I measured for a bunch of GCC releases. The test compilers are listed in the tables. All of them were compiled with gcc 4.7.2 (i.e. not bootstrapped). Test machine is gcc110 (powerpc64) which was otherwise idle. Times are "user" times in seconds, from
