When I said earlier in this thread "dependence on GNU gcc has always been bad", I did NOT mean to say that gcc is bad in itself, just the dependence on any particular C/C++ compiler. This is also why it is worthwile to go for C89 or C99 standards compliance. The less exotic (read: gcc-specific) extensions, the better.
