Re: [Dev-C++] MINGW GCC 3.x II

[Jason H. <jas...@nt...>]

CVS stands for Concurrent Versions System, and is a tool to enable a group of people to work with
the source of a program. Significantly CVS is available for use on sourceforge, and allows a
developer to "checkout" a particular source file work on it and store the changes/fixes back with
the original. With a CVS archive you can regress your sourcecode to an earlier state, or branch off
and perform two concurrent developments. It's something I'm still trying to learn so I probably am
not explaining it very well, but you can find more info in the sourceforge docs or here at:
http://www.cvshome.org/

Ok but use the CVS distribution (what exactly is CVS?). I reported a
very minor bug in 3.1's stdio.h and they told me it was already fixed in
the CVS distribution, and "the sourceforge binaries will be  updated
sometime soon". Except of this, GCC 3.1 is *excellent*, it provides
useful warnings and stuff (and is probably 100% standard C++ compliant
or at least very close to it, since i have not found any C++ construct
so far that it doesn't support, (in contrast to the classic 2.95.x
distributions, 2.95.x were made in the 1997 era, and only bug fixes were
provided since the original version).
