Re: Putting C++ code into gcc front end


You can also lookat the speed of mozilla, people are using other browsers because it's SLOW , I'd hate to see gcc slow to a crawl :-(

I personally think having parts of GCC written in C++ is a bad idea,
as it forces people to know Yet Another Language in addition to
C, shell scripts, sed, makefiles, etc.

However, if this happens, you might consider looking at Mozilla's
C++ coding guidelines - they have experience with compiling with
many different C++ compilers on many different platforms.
