[Mesa-users] How to compile mainline mesa with experimental compilers and standards (C++17 and C11)

[John Jackson]

After a some effort, I went ahead and provided a writeup on how compile mainline mesa with experimental compilers and standards at https://github.com/jjaxse2017/Mainline-Mesa-Expermental. I was hoping that there would be some interest with others doing so, to compare the results on other cards/drivers. I measured around a 18% improvement in performance against the padoka stable Ubuntu 17.04 drivers with gcc 7 and llvm 6 combined with standard c++ 17 being a clear winner at optimization level 3. I went ahead and included a compiled version for AMD video cards and would be really interested to see the result differences with Open CL/Unigine benchmarks with the newer AMD cards RX470+.
