Especially with the C++ change, GCC seems to be on the verge of crashing in under its own weight. I have the feeling that clang or something else, something simpler, will eventually prevail.
- groovy2shoes 14y agoClang and LLVM are written in C++...
- sambe 14y agoI can't be sure, but I don't think that was the point of the parent. The comment was with respect to the change, not a criticism of the language.
- mpyne 14y agoThe "change" has been underway for years now, it's not a sudden event by any means. Even now, where a C++ compiler is "required", it's not as if a drastic alteration of the code base has been performed. Given that, all I can read the complaint as, is a criticism of the language chosen.
- mpyne 14y agoOh don't tell anyone that, otherwise they'll switch to PCC. Besides, obviously a program that poorly reimplements half of the STL is going to be smaller than one that uses even the barest amount of C++.
- DannyBee 14y agoIt's more correct to say that GCC is compilable with a C++ compiler, and now allows C++. It's not like it was all rewritten in proper C++ between 4.7 and now :)
