Intel Core 2, Core i7 Optimizations For GCC 4.6
,----[ Quote ]
| CodeSourcery, a company that works on GCC
| for various companies like with Texas
| Instruments for bringing the GNU Toolchain
| to new CPUs and also offers their own
| software development environment, has
| shared their intentions to provide a new
| set of GCC optimizations for Intel's Core
| 2 and Core i7 processors.

PyPy: the other new compiler project
,----[ Quote ]
| We have recently seen a lot of attention
| paid to projects like LLVM. Even though
| the GNU Compiler Collection is developing
| at a rapid pace, there are people in the
| community who are interested in seeing
| different approaches taken, preferably
| with a newer code base. LLVM is not where
| all the action is, though. For the last
| few years (since 2003, actually), a
| relatively stealthy project called PyPy
| has been trying to shake up the compiler
| landscape in its own way.

If You Want Freedom, Donât Use Proprietary Software [VIDEO]
,----[ Quote ]
| Like many heroes of the digital era,
| Richard Stallman is largely unsung by the
| general populace. Yet when it comes to
| user privacy and technological freedom,
| heâs probably one of the most committed
| individuals in the world.
|
| By freedom, he means four things:
|
| 1. The software should be freely
| accessible.
| 2. The software should be free to
| modify.
| 3. The software should be free to share
| with others.
| 4. The software should be free to
| change and redistribute copies of the
| changed software.

What's new in GCC 4.5?
,----[ Quote ]
| Version 4.5 of the GNU Compiler Collection
| was released in mid-April with many changes
| under-the-hood, as well as a few important
| user-visible features. GCC 4.5 promises
| faster programs using the new link-time
| optimization (LTO) option, easier
| implementation of compiler extensions
| thanks to the controversial plugin
| infrastructure, stricter standards-
| conformance for floating-point
| computations, and better debugging
| information when compiling with
| optimizations.
