I believe Apple's GCC is a branch that is occasionally synced up with the the main line. So this might be fixed in the Linux release but not in the Mac release until there is another sync up or Apple fixes it specifically. Using stock GCC is not an option (for the Mac) since we need support for Apple's Objective-C and other Mac specific GCC features/quarks. You might run into many slight differences, some intentional and some not-so-much.

Not a problem I'm still trying to discover the differences between gcc
on the mac and the stock gnu one used by linux.

So the question was more why does gcc on the mac accept this if its
really a bug.
There seem to be significant differences between the c++ support on
the mac and that on linux.  I still don't quite understand why, my
opion right now is there are a number of compiler bugs in the mac port
of gcc but delving into the c++ parser to report bugs is not something
I'm intrested in. If I'm right then maybe its better to consider using
a stock gcc
for webkit.

Please file a new bugzilla bug for these fixes—that is the correct process
for submitting patches (big or small). There is more information about this
on the WebKit site, if it wasn't down at the moment...

bug.
Why does it compile on the Mac ?
