I always find it amusing that in any &#x27;clang compiles faster, gcc provides better binaries&#x27; discussion there are always immediately people chiming in that this is based on old data from gcc 4.9.  But clang supposedly hasn&#x27;t improved its binaries in all that time?<p>Unless you target a feature or cpu architecture that only one of them supports, it is close to a coin toss nowadays which compiler builds the faster binary.
