raymond Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Regarding http://trac.wildfiregames.com/changeset/15675 minimum is gcc 4.4. Why using such old gcc (developed from 2009-2012) as minimum?Why not using "gcc -O3" optimization?

feneur Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I'll leave it to the programmers to reply with a more specific answer, but if I recall correctly 4.4 is the newest one available on one of the Linux variants that we support. I believe it's the LTS version of Ubuntu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabio Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Mininum supported gcc is 4.4, but you can use a newer one. Usually you use the default one provided by your distro. SpiderMonkey 31 will require at least 4.6 (used by Ubuntu 12.04, oldest supported release). Dropping old compilers means dropping support for old distro.About the opt flag -O2 is the common choice for official release. -O3 may or not be faster, it makes the binary larger and sometime slower (e.g. uses more cache). Pyrogenesis already uses -O3, that change is for fcollada library only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
