With EGCS the issue isn't having the latest 3 mo. feature, but we have a totally BROKEN C++ compiler. The STL with it is broken, and it is so far from the ISO C++ standard, it really can't be called C++ any longer. > Every time I see a post that is one-sidedly aimed towards the latest > untested thing I'm working on the egcs 1.1.x branch. I wouldn't go near their HEAD branch for FreeBSD use. I distrust that code more than I do Micro$oft's. > Yes, let's try egcs.

I could hack our system Makefiles to use different compile options, but I don't like that approach. So I'm working on adding our compiler flags and such. > Could I install egcs out of ports, and do that testing? I want to do > that, if it would contribute. Last I tried, no. IMHO, we are a ways off, but we need to at least be working on it. -- -- David (obr...@nuxi.com -or- obr...@freebsd.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
