Current hasn't been 2.95.x for some time. Many people are upgrading from 4.7.x to -current for the first time these days, so I thought I would mention that for reference. GCC 3.2.2 was an incremental bugfix over GCC 3.2.1, and there are no earth-shattering performance improvements. I have not done such benchmarking myself, so have no empirical evidence to support this, but I am basing this on the traffic I have been watching on the GCC mailing list, and by reading the release notes at http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.2/changes.html . There is a long thread on the GCC mailing list right now complaining about compile-time speed regressions from 2.95.x, with many complaints coming from Apple: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-02/msg00558.html Whether these complaints lead to actual improvements is yet to be seen.... -- 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
