When I started Plan 9, I was actually happy that some of the tools I
wanted (grap, prof) were already available. I wanted to try GCC to
try to port a web browser, but Abaco is growing fast, and I'll stick
with that. I'm already porting pico, and that's in my contrib directory.

sorry, it my mistake, i do not mean that all community should go
and port GCC :)
The pattern of "I've just downloaded Plan9 and I want my old
tools" is
very common and we just kind of ignore them :) except for the anti-
GNU
troll responses.
Ok, i already figure out this. I was not right(?) when start this
discussion if there is no C++ in Plan9, that there are some reasons
for that :)
Thanks to all, i'm really sorry if i disturb anyone with this

Hi,
if we
couldn't port GCC because it very big job (any other reason?), maybe
we could port some other compiler with liberal enough licence?
If you (not *we*) want to port something port it and let us know when
it's done.
The process goes like this :
"I've done some working code for my XXXX C++ port, it's in my
contrib directory if someone wants to have a go with it"
I'm asking because C++ is very popular language,
This is Plan 9, popularity isn't very high on the list.
The reason there is no native C++ compiler is because of it's
*lack* of
popularity in the Plan 9 community, both historically and currently.

You'll (eventually) notice that *most* of the long time Plan 9 users
don't even join in the discussion, no doubt smiling a "seen it all
before" smile before pressing Del
