    Suitable for kernel yet?

  2. Speed? by JukkaO · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Rumour has it the plain-old-C compilation speeds are getting slower and slower every gcc release these days.

    I don't have any measurements, I'm just wondering whether the new and cool feature stuff and possible speed increases in the resulting object code warrant migration from, say, 2.95.x whatever.

    Standards conformance improvements are another thing but for the casual developer I guess gcc's been pretty good for quite a while now.

  3. Java dead code removal? by tzanger · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Does anyone know when dead code removal will be introduced to gcj? I'm linking statically to keep system dependencies very small but unfortunately my binary is reaching huge proportions but only because dead code removal does not work. (i.e. if I never use libc's printf(), don't put it in the final binary.)

  4. Oops, and there goes varargs.h... by leonbrooks · · Score: 4, Interesting
    The -traditional C compiler option has been removed. It was deprecated in 3.1 and 3.2. (Traditional preprocessing remains available.) The header, used for writing variadic functions in traditional C, still exists but will produce an error message if used.

    Bugger, that's gunner make a lot of older stuff harder to compile. Is there any particular reason that the grim reaper went postal with this version?
