GCC 3.2 Released

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!"

Re:Breaking interoperability... again???

Um, perhaps you are misreading that.

Essentially, code designed to compile with 3.2 won't compile with 3.1.1; code that compiles with 3.1.1 will probably compile properly with 3.2.

Any good compilers out there.

Does anyone knows any good compiler that works on many platforms and generates good and highly code on intel?

I'm sick and tired of GCC, it's a shitty compiler.

So what else do we use? Borland is dead, VCC is MS crap, do we pay for Sun's CC or something? Really, I am interested having just got back into C/C++ I'm using gcc on 4 platforms for its portability and after being disgusted at how huge VCC code is and how old Borland is.
