I don't think it's relevant -- but I think that MSVC++ probably has
more users than G++. I was also referring to historical data; I
suspect that Sun's C++ compiler had more users than G++ at one point,
and yet they did make incompatible changes. (I know this because I
was one of the users who had to change code at that point.)
I have no hard data, and I'm happy to be told otherwise; these are
just my best guesses. Let's not debate this on-list; just flame me
privately. :-)
