About cross-compiling : performances

SDL Development

hello,

I’d like to know if a program compiled with VisualC++ under windows is
faster than a program cross-compiled for windows with gcc under linux.
For example, in an opengl-based program, will i have more FPS with the
vc+±compiled one ?

Thanks,

It totally depends on the code. VC++ and gcc both have strong and weak
points. My own code seems to run better with gcc; I get about 15% more
performance than VC++. I’ve heard completely opposite things from others.
You’ll have to try it and see.

(if you don’t have VC++, don’t worry, you’re not missing much that gcc
doesn’t deliver)
