Well, gcc-4.5 has been released. One of the improvements gcc has achieved is the support for C99's complex data type. According to http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.5/c99status.html the support for complex has been `done'.
Hope it can eventually be used in productive codes. On Wed, Mar 24, 2010 at 8:39 PM, Hongzheng Wang <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I have asked almost the same question before.
