  8. Maybe.. on GCC 2.95 Released · · Score: 1

    ..buy GCC from Cygnus? I have heard that the commertial version that they sell (GNUPro and
    CodeFusion) has new IA32 backend already installed. According to the ad for the CodeFusion on the Cygnus site, it has 80% speed increase over "net egcs" for Pentium II for specific benchmarks (its on par with Intel's Proton(?) compiler on that, and 30% faster than VC6.0)
    Problem is CodeFusion is not shipping yet..Should be a matter of days(?). Don't know if the latest GNUPRo has the same optimizations.

  9. Hm... on GCC 2.95 Released · · Score: 1

    I bet you have no idea how to use STL.
    I know, it can be hard to start for many slow-minded people, but if you persevere and actually learn how it works (including some internal details about its built in memory management) you will understand that it is the best set of containers to use among almost all languages (taking into account both performance, flexibility and easy of use)..

  10. Re:Huray! Now, more people use C++!! on GCC 2.95 Released · · Score: 1

    I'd agree with all that with the exception that the templates in the STL are incredibly useful and ought not be avoided.

    Bingo. I found that most people trashing C++ had not update their knowledge since late 80s, early 90s. ISO C++ is a different beast.

    For most data analysis code C becames ugly and incredibly error-prone.

    Just why should I use char** for a vector of strings? With all related malloc() nightmare?
    Why write my own containers, or reuse somebody's library with obfuscated interface? Hunt down stupid pointers. Bleh...

    ..2 years delay I mean. If you have something urgent to share with you colleagues and the public - there are plenty of other means available. But for a record that would sit on a library shelf for generations to come - it should be well stable and not rushed out. A lot of stuff you pull from xxx.lanl.gov change before it is finally (if at all) published. So you treat it accordingly.

    Poor font rendering quality is my biggest problem with using X/Linux. Compare writing text in Word or Scientific Workplace with WordPerfect and LyX in Linux. (And yeah, NT4SP5 is more stable on me than X - example? try reading a large mailbox file originally from Pine from Netscape messenger. It freezes X solid. Hard reboot. Repeatable. Yeah THEORETICALLY I can ssh in and kill it. 20 min roundtrip to nearest box. Netscape is a piece of shit as it is)

    Fortunately, I mostly write code, not presetations and fixed font looks fine for that.
