[ cross-posted to the -testing list, where I think this belongs ] Just another data point:
Apple ships several versions of GCC. For current shipping systems, they ship v3.3. For the next version of Mac OS (10.4, also known as Tiger), they will ship 3.4 and 4.0.
Which one(s) should we be testing with? When should we change?
People are testing releases of CodeWarrior for Mac OS X. Mostly v8 and v9. The latest version for each release is 8.3, and 9.4.
Again, which version(s) should we test?
I'd say the highest priority is always the most recent shipping (that is, non-beta) version of each compiler. Older compilers, or betas of compilers which haven't been released yet, are interesting, but not at the expense of the latest shipping compiler tests. --Beman
