v10.0

This version is the first real new version of the year 2022, and brings several upgrades with it.

For one, there's been some changes to the optimisation levels.

  • The old -O0 has become the new -O1.
  • The old -O1 has become the new -O2.

The new -O0 basically gets the output from the interpreter directly, minimizing the compilation time. However, for those who want better runtime performance, there is a new -O3 mode that increases the memory footprint a little in exchange for a comparatively good 10% increase in performance.

However, the main draw is really the fact that there's a new -Os option for minimizing the file size of the final binary, which tries its best to relocate a lot of the repeated code into functions and function calls. Although it produces great savings (up to 75%!!), beware the massive compilation time it begets as a result. I will probably need to tweak that option a lot before it can be used 'blindly' by an end user.
