Compiz 0.9 C++ compared to 0.8.4 C October 21st, 2009

Comparison of the C version (0.8.4) of Compiz and the new C++ (0.9) branchComparison of the Compiz Core in C++ and CHere is an early look at some of the changes I’ve been investigating as documentation continues on the new Compiz 0.9 branch. The community and development team are pretty awesome folks, and I would like to take a moment to thank everyone in the IRC, Forums, and Planet.

This graph is simply information I collected about the size of the source code files for various plugins. There is also a general graph comparing the sizes of the core. I had started to do a comparison of binary sizes, but because of the optimizations and debugging builds I have – it might be a while before I could get accurate numbers for that.
