Re:GCC switches from C to C++ on Wednesday August 15, 2012 @04:42PM (#4388111)
this is apalling. The argumets seem to boil down to "I don't like VEC and how hash-tables are done". Oh and the usual bs about interfaces. The result is that now there is a monstrous dependency (a c++ compiler) in place of something that an undergrad can build for a class (a basic C compiler).

I wonder what rms thinks of this. Too bad he is not calling the shots in gcc anymore.
