Using C++ will increase that       incompatibility again.              AFAIK gcc will be compiled three times, until the compiler is usable on       a different platform. The bootstrap process uses the C compiler of the       platform for the first compilation, then the created compiler to compile       itself in a restricted version, and that compiler to produce the final       version. Unless you restrict your project to compile with one specific       C++ compiler, you'll have to bootstrap your compiler in a similar way.              DoDi              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
