I forgot to respond to this, and never committed the patch, sorry.
I've committed the changes to htdocs/projects/cxx0x.html now, but
not the htdocs/bugs/index.html change.
I wasn't opposed to the bugs/index.html change, mind. Only
wondering about the 3.x info.
I agree that the 3.x info is not useful on that page. Maybe we should
just drop the whole "Common problems when upgrading the compiler"
section, because info on 3.x is outdated, nearly everybody understands
that C++ compilers conform to the standard these days (even MS got in
on that act eventually ;-) and the info about breaking the C++ ABI with
every major release is just wrong!
Version-specific changes like the ones described here, and how to
cope with them, are usually covered in gcc-*/porting_to.html these
days, perhaps we should add pointers from bugs.html?
I agree with your thoughts and went ahead and made a first set of
changes along these lines (patch below).
LGTM.
Absolutely go ahead and trim (or remove) this further.
There is also a section about "C++ non-bugs" where I am not sure
the current contents still makes a lot of sense?
Agreed, most of it isn't useful now (although some is).
I'll make another pass at it next week, thanks.
