Doc, Congrats for giving Bright the boost at CCT11. I'm sure this book is the turning point...mark my word! Give my regards to Allard Siemelink on behalf of TDDB and CCRL. I hope Allard switches to MSVC or ICC in the near future. This Bright is MingW32 but packs a wallop!

Yes, bright is compiled with gcc (version 4.2 I believe) under mingw.
Last time I checked, the free vc++ edition resulted in a slower binary however.
Perhaps I unintendedly optimized my code for gcc.
otoh, the source code is c++, not c as most other engines, perhaps vc++ does not handle c++ too well?

The important thing is, the improvement is notably clear.

The new GCC/MingW compiler nowadays is almost at par with the commercial ones. I've been intrigued by the 'ACOVEA" approach based on this link: http://www.coyotegulch.com/products/acovea/index.html
Though "-march=pentium4 -mfpmath=sse -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -O3" is just enough for me!

If you've setup your VS Express Edition with the required Platform SDK, you could try the latest ICC11. You could still make your PGO-build within the 30-day trial period and compare it with the previous.

Have a 'Bright" Day!

wasn't aware of the free ICC11 trial, I'll give it a try for the next release
