Subject: [ALACPP] gcc 3.4 is out
I somehow missed this.
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.4/
Features
of interest:
-precompiled headers, including what looks
like a prebuilt PCH for stdc++
-#import and #pragma once
work
-much more C++98 compliance
-totally new C++ parser
-iostreams now actually
optimized (I'll benchmark this a bit later)
-iostreams
now have Large File Support!!!
-filebuf can now handle
UTF-8 (still need to figure out how)
-some string
optimizations
-STL sets and maps
optimized
-debug modes for STL containers and iterators
(I'm guessing like STLport)
-unit at a time compilation
allowing inter-procedural optimizations
-way more
efficient profiling
-optimizer takes advantage of
profiling info for things like loop unrolling
-many C
math library functions now built-ins
For Java freaks, they have a few
cool things, including basic java.nio support and the ability to compile and
run Eclipse 2.x w/o changes.
Anyway. I thought folks would find all
this very cool/interesting.
