GCC Gets Its Own News Site

Posted by timothy on from the specialization-of-labor dept.

Marcel Cox writes "In an effort to promote the development of GCC, Mathieu Lacage created a GCC news page similar to the idea of Kernel Traffic. While we are on the topic of GCC, it might be worthwhile recalling two major events that occured during the last month: 1. The tree-ssa branch has been merged into mainline, which among others means the end of G77 and the addition of GFORTRAN, the new GNU Fortran 95 compiler. 2. The second annual GCC Developer's summit took place some 10 days ago in Ottawa."

    It's a nice idea, but I imagine the audience for this will be much smaller than that for kernel traffic and it's ilk. Compilers are complicated beasts. I'd say even more complicated than an operating system kernel. While I can understand a good deal of what goes on with lkml, with GCC I'm pretty much lost.
