I can't say what criteria the SC uses; I don't know what basis other SC members use to decide. I use my own instincts (which, I admit, is not a scientific basis) for deciding. I spend much of my life talking to various stakeholders in GCC, and so I have a reasonable feel for where people are presently using GCC, and where they would like to use it. Thus far, I've certainly heard of some interest in 64-bit Windows, but nowhere near as much as 32-bit Windows or Cygwin. I certainly don't mind raising the issue, if you want me to do that; I'm happy to carry messages to the SC independent of my own opinions. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery m...@codesourcery.com (650) 331-3385 x713
