Why is there so little information about compiler differences.

99.99% of programmers have no idea how modern compilers work

because they're supposed to produce functionally inentical output

Yes but that still wouldn't stop them from comparing different algorithms in different compilers.

>because they're supposed to produce functionally inentical output

I'm talking about performance not functionality. Try some reading comprehension next time.

whats so hard about comparing the compiler outputs yourself? the documentation for the compiler outputs is the code for the compiler itself. Even the people writing the compiler would not know everything about how the compiler works, they are large and complex things.

cppcon and boostcon has some videos by guys who talk about optimizations (which always involves a discussion about what this actually means for the compiler). Check YouTube, I actually enjoy playing them in the background while coding and keeps me "in the mindset" in case I get distracted.

There's tonnes of information, what the fuck are you on about?

You just don't know where to look and what to look for, you fucking pleb.

>You'd think with all the programmers in the world the internet would be full of data regarding compile and runtime performance for all sorts of algorithms.
It fucking is.
