-<h1>Clang - Performance</h1>
-<!--*************************************************************************-->
-
-<p>This page shows the compile time performance of Clang on two
-interesting benchmarks:
-<ul>
- <li><i>Sketch</i>: The Objective-C example application shipped on
- Mac OS X as part of Xcode. <i>Sketch</i> is indicative of a
- "typical" Objective-C app. The source itself has a relatively
- small amount of code (~7,500 lines of source code), but it relies
- on the extensive Cocoa APIs to build its functionality. Like many
- Objective-C applications, it includes <tt>Cocoa/Cocoa.h</tt> in
- all of its source files, which represents a significant stress
- test of the front-end's performance on lexing, preprocessing,
- parsing, and syntax analysis.</li>
- <li><i>176.gcc</i>: This is the gcc-2.7.2.2 code base as present in
- SPECINT 2000. In contrast to Sketch, <i>176.gcc</i> consists of a
- large amount of C source code (~200,000 lines) with few system
- dependencies. This stresses the back-end's performance on generating
- assembly code and debug information.</li>
-</ul>
-</p>

-<!--*************************************************************************-->
-
-<p>Measurements are done by running a full build (using xcodebuild or
-make for Sketch and 176.gcc respectively) using Clang and gcc 4.2 as
-compilers; gcc is run both with and without the new clang driver (ccc)
-in order to evaluate the overhead of the driver itself.</p>
-
-<p>In order to track the performance of various subsystems the timings
-have been broken down into separate stages where possible. This is
-done by over-riding the CC environment variable used during the build
-to point to one of a few simple shell scripts which may skip part of
-the build.
-
-<ul>
- <li><tt>non-compiler</tt>: The overhead of the build system itself;
- for Sketch this also includes the time to build/copy various
- non-source code resource files.</li>
- <li><tt>+ driver</tt>: Add execution of the driver, but do not execute any
- commands (by using the -### driver option).</li>
- <li><tt>+ pch gen</tt>: Add generation of PCH files.</li>
- <li><tt>+ cpp</tt>: Add preprocessing of source files (this time is
- include in syntax for gcc).</li>
- <li><tt>+ parse</tt>: Add parsing of source files (this time is
- include in syntax for gcc).</li>
- <li><tt>+ syntax</tt>: Add semantic checking of source files (for
- gcc, this includes preprocessing and parsing as well).</li>
- <li><tt>+ IRgen</tt>: Add generation of LLVM IR (gcc has no
- corresponding phase).</li>
- <li><tt>+ codegen</tt>: Add generation of assembler files.</li>
- <li><tt>+ assembler</tt>: Add assembler time to generate .o files.</li>
- <li><tt>+ linker</tt>: Add linker time.</li>
-</ul>
-</p>
-
-<p>This set of stages is chosen to be approximately additive, that is
-each subsequent stage simply adds some additional processing. The
-timings measure the delta of the given stage from the previous
-one. For example, the timings for <tt>+ syntax</tt> below show the
-difference of running with <tt>+ syntax</tt> versus running with <tt>+
-parse</tt> (for clang) or <tt>+ driver</tt> with gcc. This amounts to
-a fairly accurate measure of only the time to perform semantic
-analysis (and preprocessing/parsing, in the case of gcc).</p>
