Hi Currently the README only states that GCC is required, without any information on the version.
This has resulted in ambiguity, with me wanting to use features only in newer GCC versions (4.0 and 4.1 in two cases [1]). I'm certain I won't be alone in that, and it may have happened in the past too. To solve this I'd request a debate to decide the minimum required version. Having that stated in the README, we could then depend on features found in that version. -- My own view is that GCC 4.2 is sufficient, being five years old (released on May 13, 2007). I admit not having much experience with platforms with only very old vendor-supplied toolchains; but I believe in many of those cases it's possible to build a newer GCC using the older one. - Lauri [1] 4.0 added visibility pragmas, and 4.1 added atomic builtins. _______________________________________________ Monkey mailing list [email protected] http://lists.monkey-project.com/listinfo/monkey
