bridgman the performance of the compiler is not bad for a 1.0 (even if llvm derivative) but as of now by the numbers the compiler doesn't seem particularly advanced to warrant use. Is there a benchmark it excels in as of now? Where should we expect it to make a strong difference against vanilla gcc/clang and is there example code for that available? How does it's openmp runtime compare to gomp/llvm's btw? Seems like from the ryzen/Naples marketing that threading overhead is some of the lowest yet on general purpose processors (imagine this will be the same or better on Naples) so I'm wondering if the compiler can exploit this better than the state of art in gcc/clang.
" Also highly optimized libraries, which extracts the optimal performance from each x86 processor core, are used." - I only see libclang, llvm, BugpointPasses, omp, amdlibm, and LTO. Is more than this planned? Anything specific?
Speaking of LTO, how much should we really expect to see a difference here with LTO and the gold linker plugin supplied in a separate zip? "It depends" I'm sure but is there a benchmark available?
Also what's the release schedule we might see with it and features that could be coming "soon"?
