Yes, well I happen to try EGCS too, 1.1b most lately. It _DOES_ seem to have some bad optimization bugs, and last time I tried EGCS( with PGCC) to compile a kernel, it choked on good code 2.7.2.1 worked with. However the instabilities I will need to test, which won't happen till I get a gdb that handles the new ELF coredumps. -Brian Feldman On Wed, 9 Sep 1998, David O'Brien wrote: > > It would be a good idea to upgrade to a modern compiler after the release. > > I suspect that gcc-2.8.x will be more acceptable for most people. > > Why? > > If you listen to the EGCS people, while g++28 is a much better C++ > compiler than g++27, it still has bugs that are fixed in EGCS. > > >From coding this weekend, I do know that EGCS 1.1.1 (aka 1.1a) works > better all around with the STL. > > -- > -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
