Hi Helmut, it's not that scary. But there are 2 or 3 helpful features in the extension. Mainly in the area of initialization of classes and variables. I already cross checked with the Windows compiler and it's fine.
I just wanted to know if there are distributions with a GCC not supporting the extensions. Or having any other reasoning not to use that stuff.
