<h3>C++</h3>
<ul>
+ <li>A hand-written recursive-descent C++ parser has replaced the
+ YACC-derived C++ parser from previous GCC releases. The new
+ parser contains much improved infrastructure needed for better
+ parsing of C++ source codes, handling of extensions, and clean
+ separation (where possible) between proper semantics analysis
+ and parsing. The new parser fixes many bugs that were found
+ in the old parser.</li>
