RE: [Dev-C++] full template support?

[Ioannis V. <no...@ho...>]

As we go in the past, we will find less template support and ANSI C++
compliance (the standard is very recent). The template support of GCC
2.9.x is in high degree (higher than VC++ 7 .NET). Naturally in 3.x
things are even better. I have read somewhere in MINGW site that till
GCC 3.x stabilizes, we will work with the 2.9.x releases (mainly bug
fixes). The only thing i have discovered so far personally to be not
supported in MINGW is vector::at() member function, which i do not use
too much anyway since it implies some time cost.
[For informationan purposes at() is range checked member access, that is
it throws an exception if the range is wrong but i do not need it since
i use the [] in combination with .size(): array[i]<array.size()  ).

GCC in general is very high in standards conformance and quality.
