Message 79537 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

It looks like we still didn't manage, and since ICC is the best compiler out there, this matters.

Well, from the perspective of Python, what matters mostly is the commonly used compilers (that is, gcc and MSVC). I doubt many people compile Python with icc, honestly.

Same for CPU-specific tuning: I don't think we want to ship Python with compiler flags which depend on the particular CPU being used.
