    Phoronix: 5+ Years Late: LLVM's AMD Excavator Target Was Missing Two Features

    It took until 2020 for an Intel developer to land a patch providing support for two instructions supported by AMD "Excavator" CPUs but not exposed by the "bdver4" target...

    Intel pushing Bulldozer to make their own crap look better. LOL. Can they still be more pathetic?

    AMD should reply with a patch that makes the 80386 run Windows 95 better.

          maybe 5+ ago. clang was less common. just remember it is just a few month ago that the Kernel can be compiled successfully with clang.

              I cannot see any logic in your post, but it's probably my
              ​​fault. Or maybe you're 12 years old.

                  I had developed a toy frontend for LLVM and also a tiny frontend for GCC. It's much more comfortable to use LLVM and it doesn't require to fork the whole jungle, also it doesn't require to work with obscure makefiles. Also, GCC impairs developer's freedom heavily. LLVM is the future of OSS compilers.
