When I started working on gcc 1.36 (company I was working for was designing Unix workstations and we were fixing the backend for MC680x0) we used RCS. But I'm not sure it was the original SCM, we didn't even have Internet access then :-) And we got gcc 1.35-36-37 "smuggled" to us on the 1/4" tape.
- hyc_symas 12y agoI was a MC680x0 maintainer back in those days. Also picked up i860 for the gcc 2.x stream. Fortunately I was at UMich in the gcc 1.x time, and we had NSFnet. And yes, I used RCS when working on the gcc source.
- kika 12y agoNice to meet you! :-) I still (barely) remember one bug which gave me a hard time - when compiling for 68030, I believe, under certain conditions gcc put floating point variables initialized with a constant into the constant segment. Which caused access violation when code tried to put something else into this variable. Or something along these lines, when was that, 25 years ago? Circa 87 or 88. We used 860 (not sure) and 960 (definitely) too for other products.
