egcs is an experimental spin-off of gcc that started when people got
|
|
fed up waiting for gcc 2.8. As the C++ standard finally emerged,
|
|
egcs people strove trying to implement as much of it as possible.
|
|
Accordingly, egcs C++ compiler is more suitable for C++ development as
|
|
gnu gcc. Its library approaches the standard, template support is almost
|
|
complete, namespace support is coming in, it also includes a newer
|
|
scheduler (haifa) that gives improved results on HPRisc and Alpha
|
|
architecture. Hopefully, most features of egcs will migrate to
|
|
gcc over time...
|
|
|
|
I still have to port over and check the g77, objective-C and java
|
|
front-end. egcs' g77 is more advanced and integrated than GNU-cc g++.
