Soon, it is the last P1 bug before gcc 4.4 release. I am already on it and had run a regression test for w64 on it. It solves most EH issues we have at the moment. > 2) Is the are "stable" snapshot, which is based on gcc-4.3 Hmm, well. I am not sure if we have that old snapshot still available (Our automatic buildbot starts work while 4.4 was already running). On the other hand, I would recommend to use 4.4. > TIA and keep on hacking, > > Wolfgang Cheers, Kai -- | (\_/) This is Bunny.
