In C++ you have the template, but it will still generate 2 functions in bytecode when you compile it with both int and double type calls

I think it checks it compile time, not 100% sure though, never tried to multiply a char* using a template

Just out of curiosity, how do templates perform type checking?

you will generate no function bytecode at all

please enlighten us how it will multiply the numbers without bytecode

the resulting binary is same size

That;s a simple square root, and example of what Modern C++ is.

Well if you're a terrible coder, C++ is better but basically both gcc and g++ are so shit at optimizing code that well your points are not valid

thats not an example of what modern C++ is

?

The best thing about Clang over GCC is it doesn't have that restrictive, godawful license attached to it

Saying GCC is shit at optimizations means u don't even know what u saying. GCC is the overall best compiler. Clang and MSVC might have better error messages in many cases, but optimisations, new features, availability ... GCC wins

Sure, GCC still knows nothing about threading, vector optimizations, parallelism nor piping

while you're saying that C++ compiler is better at optimizing than C compiler?

The Intel compilers produce the best code

they produce horrors like this: mov eax, [SIZE] variable add eax, 1

that would be stupid if it was from a CPU manufacturer tbh

The Intel compilers produce the best code

Followed by msvc

Also, this is running on an intel CPU

Put that on AMD chip and see how it crawls

As this article shows, Intel is by no means the best

well but it compares the compile times, not the performance of the compiled program or w/e

XDDDD I like dis guy

C forever

Crap! MSVC, Intel compiler for ARM, AVR, ... ?

Msvc compiler is arm also...

To all C guyz in the house, I will give u a simple task I've done in C++17 and D. I want an equally elegant solution in C, if u can have that u win.

Evidence sire ?
