That's good news for me, since I am having trouble compiling the 2.4.13 kernel with 3.0.1 (internal error) AND 2.96 (under investigation)... so I can try a new one :) But where is that good old 2.95.x? I just can't find it at the moment! Really, well done guys!" The site says this is mostly a bugfix release, but if you need those particular bugfixes, please use one of the mirrors. And remember, they do take appreciation is cold, hard cash, too :)

  Seeing as they are generally not getting paid to put out these compilers, I think thanks are still in order dispite the imperfections.

  9 times out of 10, if gcc 3.x won't compile your code, its not gcc3's fault, especally if its C++ code.
  
  gcc3 is far better about standards than any previous release.

    Will it compile ISO Standard C++? That's all I care about. If it detects nonstandard code in my stuff, then I can fix my stuff.
    
    I can't wait for the day when a configure script says "g++ x.y found, no further compiler checks needed."

Huh?

Will it compile KDE by now? Could anybody enlighten me on this?

gcc 3.0 needs "major bugfixes", not minor ones, especially in the c++ compiler.

  From the same source code, gcc3 creates a binary three times as large as the one created with gcc2.95:

    Can you show us the sizes of the "stripped" binaries? Also, I just compiled my C++ program w/ 3.0.2, and it was the same size as 2.95.4 (prerelease), to within 0.1%. However, I'm not making heavy use of templates. Without seeing the source, we can only speculate as to your specific results...

      I have noticed on some small programs that -Os actually made the binary bigger than -O3! Also, stripping the binaries produced with 2.95 and 3.0 doesn't reduce the size disparity.

Anybody used it for any c++ code. does it work any better then the other 3.x's?
