Re: [linux-audio-dev] [ot] [rant] gcc, you let me down one time too many

The claim is here: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=all&s… I believe that this shootout is somewhat flawed in that the examples are all relatively short pieces of code unlike anything that even approaches real world code. It should be noted that the benchmark attempts to use the technique most approriate for the language. So, for the count words example, the C++ version uses std::vector from of the STL: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/benchmark.php?test=wc&lang=icpp&i… while the C version uses standard C arrays: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/benchmark.php?test=wc&lang=icc&id… Are you surprised that C arrays are faster than std::vector?

He is absolutely perfect for the part. Just look at his creds: 1) Physically repulsive; 2) Morally bankrupt; 3) Megalomaniacal; 4) Possessed of a truly nasty, abusive disposition; 5) Prone to Hitlerian ranting; 6) Stalinesque paranoia... The list just goes on and on. The man has the gift of true despicability, no doubt about it. If it weren't for Baldie we'd be stuck with Bilgatus' merely vacuuous and creepy persona for an anthropomorphization of the Evil Empire -- tepid at best." -- Matthew Alton in LinuxToday.com on Steve Balmer
