The #gcc IRC channel on OFTC irc://irc.oftc.net/#gcc is for people that want to discuss development of GCC.
Features include:
- - a lot of people interested in working on GCC - a bot that can give you information on GCC bugs (as well as weather reports) - the topic includes a hourly-updated count of regressions - add your own preferred feature here
Utilities
You may like to use this script that provides some nice Chatzilla commands that are useful while staying in #gcc. These include:
/gcc-public and /gcc-private
Switch between sending public messages to gccbot (preceded by a percent sign, e.g. %weather or private messages (using /msg .
/tell, /praise /lart /insult
Shortcuts for sending these commands to gccbot. Example: /tell xyz i have a patch for pr c++/5 or /lart xyz trying to understand push_secondary_reloads
/weather:
Can be a nice way to tell gccbot that you are there, so that it delivers %tell messages for you. My startup script for #gcc for example, has the three-command sequence /gcc-private /weather /gcc-public The default location is in the Chatzilla preference gccbot.location
/open:
Not really related to #gcc but I found it disturbing that when you close the last Mozilla page, there is no way to open a new one except by clicking on a URL in the chat windows. So I added this command that fires a new browser window (optionally on the given URL).
Wishlist
I would like gccbot to recognize /notice messages, and reply to me in the same way.
I would like gccbot to send %tell messages as notices.
