Doug Gregor:
I want to see great, new ideas in C++ parsing and development tools, but I strongly feel that those ideas could be far better disseminated through extending/adapting/changing existing the large-scale, industry-backed projects (GCC or Clang/LLVM) than by bringing up a third large-scale competitor.
Years ago I looked at GCC and considered using it as a basis for what I'm working on, but after spending a few months working with the code, concluded it wouldn't make a good basis for my project. Perhaps you are being generous about it here, but I can't recommend anyone join that project. I certainly hope Clang is superior to GCC in many ways. -- Brian Wood Ebenezer Enterprises http://webEbenezer.net (651) 251-9384 "If you can't join 'em, beat em."
