Squint: A peephole optimizer for stack VM compilers
This compiler helps developers working on embedded systems or specialized computing environments, particularly on ARM Cortex-A72 architectures. It takes C source code and produces highly optimized executables, often running much faster than those compiled with standard GCC, or it can JIT compile and execute code directly. It's designed for C developers who need to squeeze maximum performance out of their applications on specific hardware.
Use this if you are a C developer targeting ARM Cortex-A72 (like Raspberry Pi 4B) and need extremely fast code execution, often outperforming GCC's -O3 optimizations.
Not ideal if you need a fully featured, bug-free C compiler for general-purpose development on diverse platforms, as its optimizer can be buggy and it's a specialized tool.
