[GD-General] Two issues: __attribute__((cdecl)) and MSVC++ Toolkit 2003

[<ho...@bo...>]

Forgive me for doing this as a single question, I'm writing this from a
Web client...

Going back to the __attribute((cdecl)) issue, I've found that this does
NOT work when using GCC 3.3.4 for Athlon64.  I get a warning that the
attribute will be ignored.  It compiles fine using GCC 3.3.1 for Cygwin
however.

So, back to the drawing board I guess. *sigh*

Unrelated to this I just found out that Microsoft has the command line
compiler from VC++ 7.2 available for download. I'd like to test it out,
but I don't want it to screw up my VC++ 6.0 installation -- has anyone
downloaded it and used it with VC++ 6 and not had the latter die?

Thanks,

Brian
