Hi all;
Anybody having experience with installing egcs (1.0.2-8, as the RH5.1
standard RPM) over a vanilla RH5.0 system (implying a glibc of
2.0.5c-10) ? I've just done that, and experience weirdnesses like
smashing of the frame/stack pointer during calls to things like printf
(from c++ code, compiling cleanly). Does this sound like a glibc
problem, is egcs broken, or do I write subversive code (I dont expect
anybody to comment on the latter :-))
Besides, do anybody have opinions on what is the best C++ compiler
(generally, correctness preferred over speed), gcc 2.8.x, egcs or
something else (possibly a commercial product) available for linux ?
(with a good (best) C++ compiler I mean one which translates correctly
(this must be taken as following ANSI semantics), objects to illegal
language constructs instead of generating defective code silently (this
appears to be a problem, also with gcc 2.7.x), and, to the extent it is
possible, warns about dangerous constructs.
(The least I want to do with this is to start a general C++
discussion/flame war, so please dont)
thanks in advance for any comments,
Niels HP
