I would like to point out that it is possible to build a compiler that is very buggy by not following the proper procedures. The first time that I built it, I only compiled the modules in the g++ distribution, and linked this with the object files that were generated when I built the comparable version of gcc. The resulting compiler would work - some times - and it had all sorts of strange problems from occasional compiler crashes to spurious results. Interestingly enough, a few modules would compile correctly, as evidenced by the fact that the output was correct. Once I figured that I had done something wrong, and rebuilt the compiler properly, and I have had very little difficulty since. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Youngdale INTERNET: YOUNGDALE@V6550C.NRL.NAVY.MIL Naval Research Lab SPAN: 11.13 (or 11277::) Washington, DC FLAME-NET: NLA0: Disclaimer: The opinions expressed herein are my own and not necessarily those of my employer.
