Despite the fact that they come with no guarantee, gcc and g++ seem to be at least as reliable as some proprietary compilers (that do come with some sort of guarantee). What forms of quality control do the authors use for gcc/g++? For examples, are there forms of quality control such as test-suites, change logs, someone approving changes, coverage testings, etc.? Or is the principle quality control the existence of a large community of users? (The latter method seems to work quite well, in my opinion.) Arch D.
