Gcc 2.7.2 acutally produces smaller code. For some things even faster code. What is so glammorous about a Gcc 2.95 built world and kernel? Use the base compiler to compile the product and install the `egcs' port for your own code. The big short falling with Gcc 2.7.2 is a total piece of crap C++ compiler. Since the only thing written in C++ in /usr/src/ is groff (and very old style C++), who cares. > impossible since there are many violations of ANSI C and C++ in the code right > now. The kernel does, however, properly compile (minus some ext2fs crap). Send patches then, if you are a programmer. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) [maintainer of /usr/src/contrib/gcc, `gcc-devel', `egcs', `pgcc'] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
