Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG i was wondering, the gcc freebsd uses is nice, but several people have reported succsess building world with newer versions of gcc (maybe ecgs too) to support more recent C++ standards by default, do any core team members have a "favorite" compiler? i'm kinda interested in seeing if i can do anything to have 3.0 come out with a more current compiler and would like to know which to look at. (also considering the alpha port) gcc 2.8.1? (i've heard masses of people complain it's buggy) ecgs (not heard much... but i know it has some interesting optimizations for i386, and better C++ support) anything else? thank you, Alfred Perlstein -- Programmer @ HotJobs Inc.
