Intel is now 12 and gcc is 4.x, coudln't we reach a bit further on those ? ICC before 8 is rather obnoxious to work with and so is gcc pre 4.x
Possibly, that's why I mentioned that we might remove support from some later versions as well. I don't really know anything about old versions of Intel, but I would be surprised if anyone is using a version earlier than 8. I think there might still be a few Visual C++ 7.1 users and gcc 3.4 users (using mingw?).
Visual 7 and gcc 3.4 soudns reasonable. Isn't Mingw now uptodate to 4.6 or 7 ?
My mistake, I thought there was a mingw 3.4 tester last year, but checking the release notes it was actually for linux. FWIW I did have a 3.4 bug report about a year ago.
