Final-review audit caught 13 Go compilers (gltip + arch variants 386_gltip, arm_gltip, arm64_gltip, mips*_gltip, ppc64*_gltip, riscv64_gltip, s390x_gltip, wasm_gltip) all using semver=(tip) with isNightly=true. Go's "tip" is the project's canonical mainline (their equivalent of "trunk"); these were classifying as experimental. Verified by grep: only Go uses 'tip' as a semver in CE configs, so no collision risk. Audit confirms experimental bucket drops from 112 to 99 (exactly 13 compilers move) and nightly grows from 243 to 256. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
How do I ?
This is a how-to guide for the user-interface presented by Compiler Explorer. This doesn't cover the details of how to set up or modify Compiler Explorer for your own needs. For that, please check the documents which already cover topics like:
- Adding a language
- Adding a compiler
- Adding a library
- Adding a tool

Change the assembly syntax from Intel
The option to switch assembly from Intel to AT&T syntax is present in the Output option of each compiler. If enough
space is not present, the option also presents itself as the gear symbol (⚙)
Compare the time taken by compilation and networking
This is the symbol that looks like a bar graph (📊). If your compilations are taking long, you can use this to check the time taken by:
- Networking, JavaScript, waiting for events, etc.
- Checking the cache and retrieving from it on a cache-hit
- Compilation (on force compilation or cache-miss)
- Parsing the generated assembly before presenting it
View intermediate information provided by the compilers
Though both GCC and Clang create supplementary outputs along with assembly (shown by default), and an executable (created if an executor has been added), the exact nature of the outputs and their formats differ between the compilers.
GCC allows the Tree, IPA, RTL and graph outputs, while Clang allows optimization, AST, IR and graph outputs. Some outputs (e.g. RTL or graph) also have a rich set of options in the UI to enable focussing on a particular function or compiler stage.
