[fpc-devel] The 15k bounty: Optimizing executable speedforLinux x86 / LLVM

[J. Gareth Moreton]

 Hi Simon,

 Where are your test projects located again? I figure they might make for
good timing metrics even if my overhaul is only for x86_64 currently.  If
it's successful and the other developers approve, then I can port it to
i386 where it counts.

 Alternatively, if you want to test out the changes yourself, everything
you need is over at this ticket:

 https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=34628

 Thanks for your motivation with the bounty (even though I just want to
improve the language I love!)

 created a test project, and opened two tickets:

 Sounds great. I wish more of our products had 64bit CPUs... 

 What's the speed-up you are seeing on my test project so far? 

 Best regards, 

 Simon
