What Ada compiler produces faster code than the best > C++ compiler on x86 for instance? > It's been several years (maybe 8 now), but when we were looking for a fast Ada compiler for a unix platform for doing some high-speed graphics calculations, we wrote a benchmark test and looked at various performances of various compilers. At the time Tartan Ada executables outran the Tartan C executables. What's so impressive about that? Tartan C compilers also produced the fastest C executables (which were faster than the C++ exe's). Tartan ran on several platforms, which I think included X86's. I think the may be owned by DDC-I now. Frank
