Is it anywhere near useable for heavy-duty OS work? lcc 3.x doesn't work on FBSD due to one type we have that wasn't allowed when 3.x was written. I have an (open?) pr about about getting 4.1 to work that is about 1-2 years old now. I can build it but it dumps core when I try to use it. Major plus to lcc is that it is !GPL and it is ansi by default (IIRC). -- Jonathan Fosburgh Open Systems Communications and Computer Services UT MD Anderson Cancer Center Houston, TX To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
