What is the "conformance viewer" tool on Compiler Explorer? https://godbolt.org/

Viewed 79

I see it as a tool I can add, yet I do not know what it does. I have tried googling, but could not see an answer. Surely this is documented somewhere. Or someone knows and has published it.

Conformance View lets you compile without viewing assembly. This is useful to ensure that your code passes all these compilers, but without the need to have 10 windows open.

Couldn't find this on Google but I COULD find it by following the Discuss C++ on the Cpplang Slack link at the top of godbolt.org.

I searched for the conformance viewer tool and saw the messages:

Woop! So with this update there's now a conformance view which you can use to quickly see whether or not the code compilers/generates warnings on different compilers. Like in this dumb example https://godbolt.org/g/16CqgT

And thanks to Rubén for implementing it!

@steveire conformance view lets you compile a source with up to 10 compilers at the same time, so you dont have to open 10 compiler views

It lets you see if they compiled/produced warnings/did not compile

No asm though
