GCC precompiled header implementation Posted Jan 17, 2003 1:29 UTC (Fri) by JoeBuck (subscriber, #2330) [Link] The current plan is for the precompiled header work to be shipped with GCC 3.4; it is in checked into the GCC CVS trunk (a 3.3 branch has already been made). Some portability bugs need to be ironed out, but it should make a substantial difference in GCC's speed. The other big news for GCC 3.4 is Mark Mitchell's rewrite of the C++ parser, which should finally let us close about a hundred long-standing C++ bug reports for various corner cases in the language. The 3.4 release is still a long way off; the impatient may be more interested in what's planned for gcc 3.3 (please note that gcc 3.3 has not been released yet).
