GNU VS Microsoft Compilers
By mrgreen, history, 9 years ago, In English

The same code for 580D - Кефа и блюда is accepted using GNU 13170436 and gets TLE using Microsoft compiler 13156910 . I do not know the reason for this, but I think GNU optimizes recursion more than Microsoft.

Anybody knows the reason for this ?

I'd advise you to find the answer yourself by using a disassembler. OllyDbg is pretty good for this purpose, IMHO.

By the way, if you don't know x86 assembly language, it'd be very useful for you as a programmer to learn it.

"GNU optimizes recursion more than Microsoft" this implies that a Microsoft compiler actually is able to perform hard tasks like optimization.
