GCC 4.5.0 is out
Status report form From: Richard Guenther
- scott_s 16y agoProbably the more important page to visit: http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.5/changes.html http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.5/changes.html
- Groxx 16y agoDefinitely. The thread's linked post is rather devoid of content.
- johnswamps 16y agoDoes anyone have a summary of the most important changes?
- endgame 16y agoThe following things look neat and/or interesting for me: - MPC library integration means that evaluation of complex constants at compile time is more accurate. It also can evaluate calls to complex math functions with constant arguments at compile time. -Wenum-compare now works for C. - When the compiler prints template instantiations, it ignores arguments that haven't changed from the default. I think the idea is to make things like std::map<std::string, std::vector<std::string> > look less like vomit. - Plugin support has been released.
- baq 16y agoLTO, finally. http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Optimize-Options.html#index-flto-801 http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Optimize-Options.html#inde...
- _fool 16y agowow, headache medicine for CS lab proctors! If a header named in a #include directive is not found, the compiler exits immediately. This avoids a cascade of errors arising from declarations expected to be found in that header being missing.
- chbarts 16y agoIt should have been that way from the beginning. This 'cascade of error messages' style is pretty damn bad. Also, the compiler must quit on the first error: Continuing with the known-bad state is not only asking for trouble, it's inviting it in and setting up the guest room for it to stay a month. We aren't on mainframes anymore. Getting an error message means you go back to the editor immediately, not in a week when your next time slot comes around.
- AdamN 16y agoI would just like to thank the FSF & GNU team and everybody ever associated with them - we owe them ALOT!!!!
- queensnake 16y agogo thank them where they can see it at least
- eru 16y agoOr give them some money.
- chbarts 16y agoIf I knew where to buy an alot, I'd give them one.
- pixelbeat 16y agoCool I asked for -Wlogical-op 9 years ago :) http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4412 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4412
