Re: [GD-Linux] ANSI/ISO C++

[Gareth H. <gar...@ac...>]

GCC 3.0.2 is perhaps the best (released) version of GCC I've used.  The
C++ compiler is meant to be ISO C++ compliant, but as I don't really do
any C++ programming I can't verify this.  I would recommend checking
this out initially.  For example, the x86 backend was rewritten for 3.0,
and generally produces much better code -- my personal favourite is
moving floating point data through the integer registers when
appropriate (integer regs: 2 cycle latency, fp regs: 7 cycle latency on
a P4, for instance).
