GCC 4.8.0 Release Marks Completion of C++ Migration
hypnosec writes "GCC 4.8.0 has been released (download), and with it, the developers of the GNU Compiler Collection have switched to C++ as the implementation language, a project the developers have been working for years. Licensed under the GPLv3 or later, version 4.8.0 of the GCC not only brings with it performance improvements but also adds memory error detector AddressSanitizer, and race condition detection tool the ThreadSanitizer. Developers wanting to build their own version of GCC should have at their disposal a C++ compiler that understands C++ 2003."

My supervisor held the hickory switch while I was manning the AN/UYK-7. Manfully.

Now! Witness the power of this FULLY OPERATIONAL C++ Compiler! Muahahahahahaha! Erm... damn it... what's the flag for debug symbols again?
I'm trying to teach myself to set people on fire with my mind... Is it hot in here?
For not using the word "dog food" in the summary.
This isn't Microsoft, so that would be more like "cat food" - FLOSS developers are more like cats (they're difficult to Hurd, or how you spell it).

A new general optimization level, -Og, has been introduced. It addresses the need for fast compilation and a superior gangsta experience while providing no need to use an AK.
It sounds like today was a good day.
