From: hlu@eecs.wsu.edu Subject: Gcc 2.0, new libc.a and alpha test Date: Sun, 23 Feb 1992 02:24:13 GMT
Hi,
Good news. Gcc 2.0 is officially released today. I am porting it to
Linux.
I volunteer to be the coordinator for libc.a. I hope when gcc 2.0 is
released for Linux there will be a new, better and more completed
libc.a.
If you have any suggestions or contributions to libc.a, please drop me
a note.
Since gcc 2.0 has C++ support, a wrapper will be added to every header
file, like
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
......
body of the header file
......
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif
I hope gcc 2.0 will be out along with the 0.13 kernel. It will have
features like,
(1) C++, objective C.
(2) iostream
(3) libg++ (I hope)
(4) shared libraries (?).
(5) better libc.a.
BTW, I am looking for a few alpha testers for gcc 2.0. I prefer
someone who knows at least a little bit C++/objective C. I want to test
it thoroughly and use it to do some real jobs. I may start the alpha
test with a few days.
Cheers.
H.J.
