It might be funny but unfortunately does not address the point I made from the point that Steve made. Anyway, that aside, I'm glad to see that link/list. Problem is that when I tried to look a few months ago (actually a few times but also one time from a query from Steve in email about Comeau C++ on Plan 9) the, um, funny, thing is that it was -- or at least seemed -- pretty prominent on the site that gcc was available for Plan 9. Perhaps due to my unfamiliarity with the Plan 9 site, I could not easily find the above link, despite feeling that I was surprised that the Plan 9 team either used gcc or switched to it.... not that they couldn't do so, but it seemed to me that when I originally heard of Plan 9 years ago it was using their own compiler and I was surprised to feel that wasn't necessarily the case anymore. Obviously the link corrects that thinking, thanks. -- Greg Comeau / 4.3.9 with C++0xisms now in beta!
