Value range propagation in GCC with Project Ranger
Find out about the new value range propagation abilities coming to GCC 11, and what else you can expect from Project Ranger in GCC 12.
Article
An upside-down approach to GCC optimizations
In this article, we'll look at a different approach to GCC optimization and a new project called Ranger.
