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> -For previous performance numbers, please -go <a href="performance-2009-03-02.html">here</a>. -</p> - -<!--*************************************************************************--> -<h2><a name="experiments">Experiments</a></h2> -<!--*************************************************************************--> - -<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.</p> - -<p>In order to track the performance of various subsystems the timings -have been broken down into separate stages where possible.
