Hi, While experimenting with my brainfuck-to-cobol translator ( http://tinyurl.com/bftocob ) I noticed that if I do not let cobc directly output a binary (on linux) but go through the gnu-c compiler instead, that I get a 16,8% speed improvement (tested with a mandelbrot fractal). Is this to be expected? compiled and linked by cobc (cobc -O2) -------------------------------------- real 11m19.063s user 11m15.768s sys 0m1.084s translated to c and then compiled with gnu-c -------------------------------------------- real 9m25.608s user 9m24.040s sys 0m0.492s What I did: cobc -O2 -fimplicit-init -C mandelbrot.cbl gcc -O3 -march=native -mtune=native -fomit-frame-pointer -lcob mandelbrot.c -o mb2 Also: how does cobc create the binary, does it run gnu-c underneath? Or does it compile to binary by itself?
