Is gcc meant to only be used to compile FOSS?
If that's your agenda, you're right - I don't see how you can use a

I have no idea what wpp is or why it is useful. Maybe that's true for
other people reading this list.
You shouldn't be very surprised that you don't get any useful

Hi Guys,
It's been 4 days. Can someone help me?
I really want to get started on this project, if it's needed, and if it

Hi,
Me and a couple of friends needed, in our Linux application, to write
traces to log, but we wanted to hide those traces from the client,
just like Microsoft's wpp mechanism, but we couldn't find any
