Hi, Since ON is buildable with /usr/sfw/bin/gcc 3.4, I'm proposing to make it buildable with GCCfss (GCC for SPARC Systems) on sparc and with plain gcc 4.0.x on x86.
Because of the changes introduced in gcc version 4.0, ON didn't work with GCCfss (which is based on gcc 4.0.x) and/or plain gcc 4.x. Here is the current status: ~170 source file changes. Most of them are trivial like moving static func decl out of func scope. with our changes ON builds with GCCfss, builds with studio, builds with /usr/sfw/bin/gcc 3.4 The most recent PIT indicates 5 failures in gccfss build, 9 fails in gcc3 build. In May we had just one PIT failure, but ON is moving forward quickly and we can't keep up by ourselves. We believe that ON community and ON itself will benefit a lot by being exposed to new compilers. Alexey.
