[LLVMdev] speed and code size issues

[Jonathan Gray]

Yes, a full list which includes some generated .h files can
be found at
http://goblin.cx/llvm/
specifically
http://goblin.cx/llvm/LLVM-bakeoff-clang-hsize
http://goblin.cx/llvm/LLVM-bakeoff-gcc335-hsize
http://goblin.cx/llvm/LLVM-bakeoff-gcc424-hsize
http://goblin.cx/llvm/LLVM-bakeoff-llvmgcc-hsize

drop -hsize for the plain sizes.

http://goblin.cx/llvm/LLVM-bakeoff-comparison
has these merged into a single line format of the form

if_spppsubr.o, clang: 124440, gcc335: 48968, gcc424: 49272, llvmgcc: 120400
