GCC 3.0.4 is Out

Posted by michael on from the which-gcc dept.

Isle writes: "GCC 3.0.4 has finally been released. As those who has tried the prereleases will know this version finally compiles a working version of aRts and thus compiles the entire KDE-suite. With the Linux kernel compiling already with the 3.0.3 version, gcc 3.0 now compiles all major projects I know of. Is it finally time to dump that good old 2.95?"

    I would be quite happy if the entire 'info' system dissapeared off the face of my installation, permanently.

    It's a pita to use/write/index

    man forever!

    It is even slower at compiling C++ than the old one.

    That's because C++ got bigger since the old one.

    When will they implement precompiled headers.

    A precompiled headers branch was created some time ago. Feel free to try using it. It's been implemented by two different commercial groups already; they're just merging in one of those solutions.

    Perhaps you think implementing precompiled headers is easy? I invite you to try.

    Oh why, why. why havnt they done it already!

    If are are dissatisfied with the compiler, and unwilling to contribute your own time to make it better, you should definitely demand a refund of the money you paid for it.
