No. gcc 3.2.2 is definitely slower than gcc 2.95. There is a lot of arguing on the gcc mailing list right now about this, but no concrete action to improve the situation yet. Stability improvements? For a list of bug fixes see: http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.2/changes.html and decide for yourself. -- Craig Rodrigues http://home.attbi.com/~rodrigc rodrigc@attbi.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
