== DragonEgg optimizes GCC ==
== GCC ==
DragonEgg is a plugin for the GCC compilers to allow use of the LLVM optimization and code generation framework. DragonEgg provides software developers with more optimization and code generation options for use with the GCC compilers. DragonEgg also allows GCC to be used for cross-compilation to target architectures supported by LLVM without requiring any special cross-compilation compiler packages.
 
As of Fedora 19, GCC 4.8.x is shipped as the default GCC. In addition, all Fedora packages have been rebuilt with GCC 4.8.x (and GLIBC 2.17; see below)
 
Users will be able to see compiled code improvements and use the newly added features, such as improved C++11 and C11 support, improved vectorization support, etc.
 
For more information on the changes in GCC 4.8.x, please see http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.8/changes.html
 
 
== GLIBC ==
 
As of Fedora 19, GLIBC 2.17 is shipped as the default GLIBC. All Fedora packages have been rebuilt with GLIBC 2.17 (and GCC 4.8.x; see above).
