Ethan Blanton on Nostr: After completing Chapter 8 (including extra credit), running the Writing a C Compiler ...
After completing Chapter 8 (including extra credit), running the Writing a C Compiler test suite through gcc takes 12.7 seconds, clang takes 23 seconds, and my compiler takes 21.8 seconds.
I don't see any reason that Debian 13 shouldn't be able to ship this as the default compiler. I'll need types other than int, function calls, and a few similar edge cases first, but it's looking promising.
