Coding > which is faster ?

#25508 - tomer - Tue Aug 24, 2004 6:11 am

which is faster?
1. Devkit ADV
2. Devkit ARM
3. Visual HAM

which will compile my code faster?

It depends on whether you want the compiler to run faster or whether you want the compiled code to run faster.

They're all GCC, which is notoriously slow at compiling code with optimization. To compile your code faster in any environment, don't use any optimization flags.

Use devkitARM because it has the latest version of GCC, which has the latest optimizations.

GCC does not produce the best code. Other (expensive) compilers do produce better code.

What other compiler can be used ??? What (expensive) compiler make the best code ???

There's ARM ADS, but you probably can't afford it unless you're already working with a licensed publisher who will pay for it.
