Comparison QB64 compiled with gcc optimizations and without

[Coolman]

i hate the c c++ language but i must admit that it is very powerful. it's a pity that qb64 doesn't generate an optimized code like this. i found this code here :

https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian...gpp-3.html

compile :
g++ -c -pipe -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -std=c++17 n-body.cpp -o n-body.o && g++ n-body.o -o n-body

test :
time ./n-body 50000000

results :
-0.169075164
-0.169059907
