We have been using gcc (v1.37 initially & now v2.2.3) on a decmips-ultrix
host to generate code for 680x0 targets. This works out real well.

Recently I decided to learn C++ so that I could use it in writing
a Motif front-end for the distributed real-time system we have developed.
Since I dont have a C++ compiler on my machine I decided to build the
one available in gcc v2.2.3. The build was successful & the trivial C++ programs
that I have written to use the C++ front-end of gcc compile & execute as 
expected.


My question is since the extant release of gcc is v2.5.*, should I be
getting that instead of continuing with v2.2.3 ?

Are there any serious bugs, limitations with the g++ front-end in v2.2.3 
that I should be aware of ?

Unfortuantely I dont have ftp capabilities ( I wouldnt have asked this question
if we had ftp). Using a mailserver to retrieve gcc v2.5* from `prep' is a 
very painful process to say the least. I dont want to go this route 
unless I absolutely have to. (You might ask how did we get v2.2.3 in the
first place. We bought it from Cygnus Support.)

Thank You.
