Yeah, that's really unfortunate. I suppose we'll probably run into it fairly quickly. Nevertheless, the restriction to programs that are both legal C89 and legal C++ of similar vintage has paid off for us, in the sense that we went from GCC 2.95 to GCC 3.4 without having significant problems where the compiler suddenly decided our code was unacceptable. (Similar experience with other vendors' compilers.) Recently we've seen a significant rise in warnings that need to be fixed, and occasional errors, as GCC 4.x has become more common. -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
