The mingw.org glitch was temporary. The address
works again (they have changed hosters).
|
| Jan 31, 2010 | |
I got a chance to try out MinGW 64-bit on Windows 7.
It worked well.
Also, I have no idea how long it's been this way, but the www.mingw.org address no longer works.
You have to go to the sourceforge page.

I've finally finished updating all of the compiler offerings. One interesting
project I stumbled on recently is OpenCL, a C-based API
for programming massively parallel systems like the
NVIDIA Tesla.

I'm trying to work through these compiler pages and provide some long-overdue
updates. I must admit I'm not as excited about Windows compilers as I
used to be since I've stabilized on gcc 3.X, but with a planned
upgrade to 64-bit Windows looming at both work and home, my interest
will probably revive and have more focus on the 64-bit side.

GCC 4.4.0 released.
|

GCC 4.3.0 released.
|
| Nov 11, 2006 | |
My apologies for not finding the time to keep my compiler links more
up to date. If you haven't visited
the GCC benchmark page, it's
worth a look. There are several plots that chart the results of the
SPEC benchmarks on various systems daily with the very latest updates
to GCC. GCC 4.2.0 should be getting very close to release.
|
| Jul 16, 2006 | |
I've finally taken the time to update some of the blurbs here. I hope to
systematically do them all within the year, but I've updated GCC, Microsoft,
Intel, Borland, and Pathscale for now.
|
| Feb 28, 2006 | |
GCC 4.1.0 has been released. This is good news for
MinGW users since the MinGW philosophy has been to wait
for 4.1.x before porting the GCC 4.x versions.
|
| Oct 31, 2005 | |
If you are curious about a gcc 4.x release under MinGW, you might want
to check out
this post
from Danny Smith, or read the bit under "Milestones" written
by Earnie Boyd on MinGW's
spotlight page at
SourceForge.

Intel released their v9.0 compilers, which are
have new features to optimize code for multiple cores.
|
| May 24, 2005 | |
I added free and commercial sections for Ch, an
interesting, cross-platform C/C++ interpreter from
softintegration.com. |

GCC 4.0.0 is released. This
is a major new release
from the gcc team.
There is a Slashdot thread about the release. I have
played with it just a little bit on a 2.2 GHz Opteron box, and on a sample
of one code (BW1D C from my
compiler benchmarks), it
made little difference in compiled code run times, with the gcc 4.0.0 compiled
executable running maybe 2-3% faster than the gcc 3.4.0 executable in 32-bit
mode and virtually dead even in 64-bit mode. |

I found this interesting ranking of computer languages
while doing some googling a couple days ago.
|
| Mar 15, 2005 | |
Slashdot has
a
post discussing a C-Net news article which offers an informative
preview
of GCC 4.0. One of the newly posted features on
GCC 4.0 is
autovectorization, which should be very cool!

I've cleared up some mistakes in my
lcc-win32 and
Pelles C sections. My apologies to
the authors of these compilers.

MinGW 3.2.0 (rc3) has been released.
This is the complete MinGW environment install package and contains
GCC 3.4.2 and the latest Win32 API package. It has jumped from 15 MB
(MinGW 3.1.0) to 50 MB in size, partly because it now includes
gcc-ada and gcc-java.
|
| Nov 6, 2004 | |
GCC 3.4.3 released.
|
| Oct 8, 2004 |
|
With more 64-bit support coming out, I've added some qualifiers
to the heading on this page and to my overview to indicate that I'm
interested in x86/AMD64/EM64T compilers--not just Win32 compilers.
Other notes:
-- Intel released
v8.1 of their compilers with 64-bit support
on Oct 4.
-- GCC's next
major release (was GCC 3.5) was renamed to GCC 4.0
on Sept 9.
-- A comparison between Intel v8.1 and GCC 4.0 is here.
-- GCC 3.4.2 was released on Sept 6, and the
MinGW candidate has been available
for download since Sept 23.
-- I've updated my GCC, MinGW, and Intel
sections. |

I've updated my GCC section to discuss
the exciting developments which are being implented into the next
major release (3.5).

Pelles C
compiler and integrated development environment, a free package that
I was notified about via an e-mail.

They're not Win32, but
Pathscale is introducing
high performance
compilers for the AMD64 architecture that they claim
increase
performance of executables by 40%.

Slightly modified my Overview section
and added some links to other good C/C++ compiler sites.

I updated several sections this morning. |
| Feb 9, 2003 | |
I've given this page a new look since the total amount
of information was starting to be unwieldy. You can now see at a glance
which sections I've recently updated. And if you prefer the older
format, it's still here.
