How well does the optimizer perform? And do you often encounter nasty, hard to trace, bugs in the compiler output?


Rust uses LLVM for all code generation and optimization. So, in that respect, it is very mature and I personally have never hit an issue.


I've yet to see a bug that I traced back to the compiler rather than my own code (which doesn't mean they haven't happened, just that if they have, they have been obscure enough that I haven't noticed them).
