Would be good for the extended GCC14 benchmarks if you did it against LLVM with...

The change log is currently missing a feature, that I think is important for the C++ ecosystem: C++ module scanning for named modules (P1689R5) is now available.
This is required for build tools like CMake and Meson to figure out module-related dependencies. Without this feature, build tools needs to implement a C++ parser.

I don't know why the patch is not applied to the change log, it is from Ben Boeckel who is the author of the feature. https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-pa...er/637438.html
