GCC 3.2 Released

Posted by michael on from the fount-of-all-goodness-and-light dept.

bkor forwards the GCC 3.2 release announcement, without attributing it as such: "The GCC 3.2 release is now available, or making its way to, the GNU FTP sites. The purpose of this release is to provide a stable platform for OS distributors to use building their next OS releases. A primary objective was to stabilize the C++ ABI; we believe that the interface to the compiler and the C++ standard library are now stable. There are almost no other bug-fixes or improvements in this compiler, relative to GCC 3.1.1. Be aware that C++ code compiled by GCC 3.2 will not interoperate with code compiled by GCC 3.1.1. More detail about the release is available. Many people contributed to this release -- too many to name here!"

    Good thing I didn't waste an entire f*cking week compiling Gentoo 1.3 with GCC 3.1. It would have been a STUPID WASTE of time if I had done that. Yeah, good thing I saw this coming.

    GOD DAMNED PIECE OF F*CKING SH*T!

    Some guy on the subway today told me that GCC 3.2 works correctly on SMP Sun boxes. But then he dropped his pants. You decide if the information is credible.
