I'm using 3.4.3. I realize 4.0 isn't released and isn't suitable fro
production work, whatever that means.
But, does 4.0 generate sufficiently better code ( athlon ) to make it worth
the issues that may still remain?
FWIW, there's little I cou;ld find about the expected benefits - to the end
user - of the shift to the 4.0 architecture. Conformance? Speed of
compilation? Quality of code produced - size? speed? Or does the modular
nature allow for all these good things once the base works? IOW, wait for
4.1?
