IIRC the benchmarks from Gambit@30, # the numbers were still heavily in favor of GCC in October 2019. # Thus we use GCC over clang, even on macOS. # Also note that I (fare) just ran benchmarks from https://github.com/ecraven/r7rs-benchmarks # with Gambit 4.9.3 with -O1 vs -O2 vs -Os on Feb 2020. Which wins depends on the benchmark. # The fight is unclear between -O1 and -O2, where -O1 wins more often, by up to 17%, # but sometimes -O2 wins, once by up to 43%, so that overall -O2 is 5% faster. # However, -Os seems more consistent in winning slightly against both -O1 and -O2, # and is overall 15% faster than -O2. As for compile times, -O1 is fastest, # -Os is about 29%-33% slower than -O1, while -O2 is about 40%-50% slower than -O1. # Overall, -Os seems like the best choice, and that's what we now use. stdenv.mkDerivation rec { pname = "gambit"; inherit version; inherit src; bootstrap = import ./bootstrap.nix ( pkgs ); # TODO: if/when we can get all the library packages we depend on to have static versions, # we could use something like (makeStaticLibraries openssl) to enable creation # of statically linked binaries by gsc. buildInputs = [ git autoconf bootstrap openssl ]; configureFlags = [ "--enable-single-host" "--enable-c-opt=-Os" "--enable-gcc-opts" "--enable-shared" "--enable-absolute-shared-libs" # Yes, NixOS will want an absolute path, and fix it.
