A thorough examination of the performance effects of using undefined behaviour in compiler optimizations.

Method:

  1. Modifying clang to not use UB where this is possible
  2. Run a large suite of benchmarks on different architectures, compare results for modified and unmodified clang
  3. Do statistics on the results
  4. Examine performance deviations
  5. Discuss factors which could bias results.

Very good science!

Result in short:

Only on ARM and if no link-time optimization is used, a systematic small positive performance effect can be seen. For Intel and AMD CPUs, there are no systematic improvements.

Average effects are typically below 2%, which is the typical effect of system and measurement noise. Often, effects are even negative. In some cases, benchmarks show large differences, and many of these can be fixed by simple modifications to the compiler or program.

Like every major GCC release, this version will bring many additions, improvements, bug fixes, and new features. GCC 15 is already the system compiler in Fedora 42. Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) users will get GCC 15 in the Red Hat GCC Toolset. It's also possible to try GCC 15 on Compiler Explorer and similar pages.

This article describes only new features implemented in the C++ front end; it does not discuss developments in the C++ language itself.

The default dialect in GCC 15 is still -std=gnu++17. You can use the -std=c++23 or -std=gnu++23 command-line options to enable C++23 features, and similarly for C++26 and others.

Man dead after being shot by police at Toronto's Pearson airport

Police were attempting to resolve dispute before man produced gun: Peel police chief

A man is dead after being shot by Peel police at Toronto Pearson's Terminal 1 Thursday morning.

The shooting happened shortly before 7 a.m. after police received a call from a member of the public about a dispute involving two or three people, Peel police Chief Nishan Duraiappah said. The group knew each other and was there "for the purposes of travel," he said.

Three officers responded to the call. Police had been attempting to mediate the dispute for around 10 minutes when the man abruptly took out a firearm and pointed it at an officer, he said.

Kristy Denette, the spokesperson for the province's Special Investigations Unit (SIU), told reporters the man did not fire his weapon at police, adding it's unclear whether he pointed the weapon at the officers.

Two of the officers fired at the man, the SIU said, correcting its earlier release that said three officers opened fire. The man, 30, was pronounced dead at the scene, it added.

The man was "in distress" and had been in an SUV at Terminal 1 departures, but the shooting happened outside the vehicle, the SIU said.

Denette said some family members were present at the time of the shooting, and the SUV had a child's booster seat inside.

No police officers were injured and a post-mortem exam for the man is scheduled for Friday morning, the SIU said.

The shooting "is an isolated incident and there are no known threats to public safety," Peel police said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

Asked about the shooting at an unrelated event Thursday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford called it unacceptable.

"What's the world coming to? You go to the airport and there's shootings happening," he said.

In an update to media on Thursday, Ontario's Special Investigations Unit said the man was "in distress" and produced a weapon but didn't fire it before being shot dead by police at Pearson airport.

Peel paramedics responded to the scene around 6:56 a.m., a spokesperson confirmed.

Duraiappah called the shooting a "tragic incident" and said it was not an attack on the airport.

"There was nothing that was compromising the airport operations," he said.

Police have body camera footage of the incident and are cooperating fully with the SIU's investigation, he said.

Duraiappah said there was a large police presence on scene, along with SIU investigators.

The SIU is an independent agency that investigates the conduct of police officers in incidents across Ontario that may have resulted in death, serious injury, the discharge of a firearm or allegations of sexual assault.

Witness saw man bleeding, officer performing CPR

Danilo Simic told CBC News he had just dropped off a friend at the airport and was planning his route home to Hamilton when he heard 10 or more loud bangs.

"Right away I thought, this can't be a car's loud exhaust. This is something different, something that I haven't heard before," he said.

A man who was at Toronto's Pearson airport at the time of a police-involved shooting Thursday recounts hearing multiple gunshots before seeing police performing CPR on an injured man.

Simic said he ducked in his car, assuming the noises were gunshots. Everyone around him "came to a standstill," he said.

Two police cruisers soon sped past him, he said.

As Simic drove away, he saw a man lying on the ground bleeding from his torso and his head. An officer was giving the man CPR, he said.

Police were also holding back a woman from the scene, Simic said.

Another witness, Jake Seymour, said he was outside on the airport's lower level when the shooting happened.

He said he heard multiple shots, then went to the top floor to see if he could offer first aid. First responders were already there, he said in a direct message to CBC Toronto.

Seymour said exits in the area were blocked off. The scene that was taped off wasn't on the roadway where passengers immediately exited the airport, but rather the secondary roadway closer to the airport's parking garage, he said.

Grey SUV on scene with several evidence markers

Images from the scene showed a heavy police presence with several Peel Regional Police vehicles parked outside the massive three-level terminal building that's the hub of Air Canada's operations and most major international flights.

CBC News crews spotted at least a dozen police cars en route to the departures area of Terminal 1.

One image from the scene showed a grey Jeep Cherokee in a section of the road that's been cornered off with police tape. There were several white evidence markers on the ground behind the vehicle, which had its trunk open.

The SIU confirmed this was the vehicle involved in the shooting.

A number of passengers were seen wheeling their suitcases between police cruisers with their lights flashing while making their way into Terminal 1.

Travellers at Pearson have been left scrambling after a police-involved shooting snarled operations at the Toronto airport. CBC's Dale Manucdoc has the latest on the investigation.

Roads closed, routes affected near airport

Pearson airport said flights were operating normally on Thursday despite the police investigation.

The road to Terminal 1 departures was closed, but has since reopened, the airport says.

Highway 409 to Terminal 1 departures was closed due to a police investigation, Ontario Provincial Police said in a post on X.

The 900 Airport Express bus was detouring via Terminal 3 due to police activity, but service has since resumed, the Toronto Transit Commission said.

Service on the UP Express appeared to be unaffected.

Previous owners had put up an incorrectly placed smoke alarm. It was almost directly over the stove in the kitchen! I took it down when we moved in, but never bothered to take down the housing attached to the wall.

I finally unscrewed it from the wall, filled the screw holes with a little spackle, and touched up the paint (it still had the old color underneath). It's not perfect but not noticeable unless you know it's there.

Learn about proper detector placement.
