gcc 3.0 Coming Soon to a Computer Near You

Posted by michael on from the make-all dept.

An anonymous submitter sent in pointers to a couple of mailing list messages about the imminent release of gcc 3.0. The official word seems to be that 3.0 might be out as early as this weekend.

    Guess what? Everyone that complained about GCC 2.96 being broken (and not reading http://www.bero.org/gcc296.html) despite the fact that their code wasn't C99 complient STILL WON'T COMPILE. Now you can't complain that your code won't work because it's a developmental compiler, you'll actually have to fix it. Numerous examples of this are listed at the above URL, I'd highly suggest you try it out. I have a feeling quite a few people are gonna be red in the face over this one. ;-)

    P.S. It's GCC 3.0, FYI.

    Rehat has already incorporated gcc 3.0 into a patch for 7.1 and 7.0 that they are posting as a critical update.
