Not so sure about that. I remember developing and building some huge projects with 3.4 at the time. I don't recall any major bugs in the compiler.
The only problem was that the C++ compiler was rather slow compared to competition.
- klodolph 7y ago2.95 was the buggy one, which is why you don't recall bugs in 3.x. 2.95 was faster, but it didn't produce correct code. Fixing the correctness issues resulted in slower binaries through the 3.x and 4.x series, iirc.
