In all probability, I originated the patches... To answer the other question, of how do we go about geting them into the gcc distribution and onto interviews.stanford.edu, that one is easy to answer, nothing. The answer is simple, since I am the one originating them, and as fate would have it, I am one of the FSF C++ maintainers, I just edit the right files... :-) As to the other part, of interviews.stanford.edu, since I am the one that has been putting out compilers and patch kits on i.s.e, I will, naturally update from 3.0.1 to 3.1 beta when 3.1 beta is working as well with gcc as 3.0.1 does currently. If people have patches for gcc that help it compile 3.1 beta, they should send them on to me for evaluation and possible inclusion into gcc. Have no fear, the g++ developers DO support InterViews, so all is not lost... :-) People should not be so quick to blame InterViews developers for abandoning g++.
