From what I've heard and read, gcc 4.0.0's increased pickyness also raises the bar for getting existing objective-c code to compile - by introducing follies such as refusing to compile objective-c sources with a .c extension. OTOH, people are pretty excited about gcc 4's new C++ features such as the visibility support - it seems the gap between C,C++ and the more marginal languages supported by the gcc is increasing. -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi_at_freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org
