Issue #20203 has been updated by alanwu (Alan Wu). File sort-benchmark-ubuntu.png added File sort-benchmark-macos.png added I ran some benchmarks comparing the builtin `ruby_qsort()` and `qsort_r()` on macOS with an M1 chip and on Ubuntu 22.04 (glibc 2.35) wtih a Xeon Platinum 8000 chip. The rubies are built off of commit:3f5f04afa7 and the `ruby_qsort()` one is built with `configure ac_cv_func_qsort_r=no` to use the builtin sort (verified with a debugger). Note that I used `benchmark-driver` in `time` mode, which picks the number times to repeat based on the workload, so larger input size doesn't necessarily run longer.   With shuffled inputs, the builtin sort is about 5% faster on macOS but 10 to 20% slower on Ubuntu. The builtin sort seems very good with ordered inputs and outperforms `qsort_r()` across the board. Considering it's faster on macOS, I think the builtin sort has acceptable performance. ---------------------------------------- Bug #20203: `TestEnumerable` test failures with GCC 14 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20203#change-107391 * Author: vo.x (Vit Ondruch) * Status: Open * ruby -v: ruby 3.3.0 (2023-12-25 revision 5124f9ac75) [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- There is ongoing mass rebuild in Fedora and that is first time GCC 14 is used and we observe test failures in `TestEnumerable`.
