Every compiler has bugs. SUN is doing very large testing of every build based on binaries produced by Sun Studio. If bug is found, it is fixed. GCC builds are done (shadow builds) but the results are not tested much. > We build our current platform (QNX) and apps using gcc4.2.

There were some fixes going to gate for support GCC 4.something.something (probably 4.2.x or 4.3.y, I do not remember which) but it is not used much, outside of Parfait backend I believe. There is no problem to use GCC for your binaries, but for ON gate you can be surprised by some bugs. Of course, you are welcome to report them, investigate them and fix them :-) Best regards, Milan > Mark > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] > > Sent: 2010-01-18 17:27 > > To: Mark Maule > > Cc: Jason King; Milan Jurik; [email protected] > > Subject: Re: [osol-discuss] building standalone modules > > > > Mark Maule wrote: > > > Agreed - we plan on using documented interfaces. > > > > > > I'll puruse the driver tutorial and writer documents.
