Matefinder Compiles

[Jouni]

Thanks BMI is fastest now! BTW after running more tests your version is very good. And using syzygy don't prevent fast mate finding like in Houdini .

Hello Joseph,

thanks for your time and work.

I've compiled your sources and uploaded macOS binaries to https://stockfishchess.de.

Thanks, Joseph, for compiling nonpc. Works well.

Ok, I have uploaded compiles for non-popcount and bmi2 to the release as well.

3.3MB instead of 1.4MB (previous versions)?
I guess these are the debug versions instead of the release versions - not a good idea ...

Static linking, some optimizations, etc, could produce bigger executable files too.

Nope.

Nope.

Well, an EXE analyzer (PEStudio) has a different opinion (and me too) ...

Well, it/you are wrong.

Hint: not stripping the exe does not a debug build make.

IpMan has very graciously provided optimized builds for those who want/need the best performance.

You can grab them here:

I have also added the two fastest compiles to my repo's release page.
