Re: Compiling Ruby w/ Profile Guided Optimization

Ruby

Ruby with this feature turned on. For the (somewhat
contrived/synthetic) scenario below, it looks like compiling
with profile guided optimization turned on, along with -O3,
results in about a 9% speed increase vs. -O3 alone.
YMMV. I compiled a version of Ruby-1.8.4 using the
following config options…

configure CFLAGS="-O3 -fprofile-generate"

LDFLAGS=-fprofile-generate

Odd, I thought Ruby died a horrible death if compiled with -O3. Has
that changed with gcc 4.x?

Thanks,

Dan

On OS X Ruby can fail when compiled with -fschedule-insns2 which is
in -O2.
