Hi,
I don't know to who i have to ask this..but i find this e-mail address in this website:
http://clang.llvm.org/index.html
I don't know anything about compiling..my hobby is testing Chess engines ,do this more then
20 years now. i get from different programmers there new/beta engines to test..
I have installed some programs and with a guide i can make compiles in windows using this
command line: make profile-build ARCH=x86-64-modern COMP=mingw
So i get Stockfish (a chess engine) source..and it makes a Stockfish.exe file and i can use it,test it
out and so on..with every compile i check the speed..it has a build-in Benchmark..just typing bench
and i get a number nodes/sec. that shows me his speed.
In Chess is very important to get highest speed!
On a chess forum i read about compiling with Clang..and on the Clang website i read that compiling
with Clang can be 3 times faster then GCC !!
So that would be amazing for Chess calculatings! even i get a gain from x1.5
Now is my request to someone who can make a Clang compile for me ,because i'am very
curious to see this speed difference!
The source you can download from here: GitHub - mcostalba/Stockfish at c++11
Just click on Download ZIP
and when you open this folder you will see Stockfish source
If this e-mail is not to the right person ,can you please forward it to someone who can make
this compile for me..i would appreciate it very much!
Kind regards,
Jean-Paul.

Note that Clang's speed advantage is traditionally during compiling.
This means that you get a Stockfish executable sooner, not necessarily
that Stockfish runs faster

You should direct these questions to the support forum of Stockfish,
e.g. http://stockfishchess.org/support/
Stockfish has support for clang. If you type "make help", you'll see:
Supported compilers:
gcc > Gnu compiler (default)
mingw > Gnu compiler with MinGW under Windows
clang > LLVM Clang compiler
icc > Intel compiler
To build with clang, you could run
make profile-build ARCH=x86-64-modern COMP=clang
The fact that your example above was with COMP=mingw suggests that
you're running Windows. To make the above run, you'll have to put the
clang executables in the path.
