I blogged about compilation time – compiling with -std=c++98 is (sometimes) much faster than -std=c++11

I blogged about the useful, but little known, libstdc++ debug mode.

I blogged about GCC command options for debugging

Part 5: More about GCC instruction patterns
https://kristerw.blogspot.se/2017/12/more-about-gcc-instruction-patterns.html

I blogged about why GCC consumes an excessive amount of memory when compiling `std::array<std::bitset<N>, N> elems;`

I blogged about useful GCC warning options not enabled by -Wall -Wextra

I wrote a follow-up post about what may happen for slightly more complex cases.

I wrote about why undefined behavior may make compilers insert a call to a never-called function

Part 1: The structure of a GCC back end
https://kristerw.blogspot.se/2017/08/the-structure-of-gcc-back-end.html

I have started to write a blog series about how a GCC back end works

I blogged some about the recent Phoronix GCC/LLVM benchmarking results on Ryzen
https://kristerw.blogspot.se/2017/07/phoronix-scimark-benchmarking-results.html

I blogged about store/load dependencies (and ranted about micro benchmarking)
https://kristerw.blogspot.se/2017/07/a-loadstore-performance-corner-case.html

I blogged about the C strict aliasing rules. And some other annoying things in the C standard.
https://kristerw.blogspot.se/2017/07/strict-aliasing-in-c90-vs-c99-and-how.html

I blogged about why GCC generates slow code for a range-v3 example
https://kristerw.blogspot.se/2017/06/a-look-at-range-v3-code-generation.html

I wrote a follow-up post with some more information about what -fipa-pta actually do
https://kristerw.blogspot.se/2017/06/fipa-pta.html

I blogged about what GCCs interprocedural optimizations do
