GCC 4.0 Preview

Posted by timothy on from the dual-overhead-cams dept.

Reducer2001 writes "News.com is running a story previewing GCC 4.0. A quote from the article says, '(included will be) technology to compile programs written in Fortran 95, an updated version of a decades-old programming language still popular for scientific and technical tasks, Henderson said. And software written in the C++ programming language should run faster--"shockingly better" in a few cases.'"

    You're talking about C++ binary compatibility, right? I don't think that GCC has broken C binary compatibility in a long time...

    Can you run C++ applications compiled on Solaris 2 on any later version?

    What about compilation times?
