Jim Ablett Stockfish compile for Linux

Post by Don »

In the distribution there is a stockfish-191-64-ja for Linux. I have 2 quesitons concerning this:

1. Which compiler was it compiled with? Intel or gcc?

2. Does it have the fast popcount instruction that is detected at runtime?

Hi Don,

It is compiled with Intel compiler for Linux - no popcount.
Popcount support in Stockfish source is automatically detected/disabled on my computer at compile time, so I can only build without.
