As Pedro notes, the project is very much alive and active. Mea Culpa
on the wiki, we'll do better on that.
Right now we are tackling C++. Not surprisingly, this is much harder
than Plain Old C, so I suspect we've gone quiet (and been quiet)
trying to solve the C++ issues. We'll do better communicating there,
too.
For reference, the branches we work out of are:
On GDB:
users/pmuldoon/c++compile
And on GCC:
aoliva/libcp1
Also, as Pedro notes, there are just three of us working on the GDB
and GCC side; help, hacking and advice would be most welcome and we'd
be happy to help anyone out getting started.
Cheers
Phil
