[Development] Posted Jun 18, 2008 14:12 UTC (Wed) by corbet
Ian Lance Taylor has announced the creation of a branch to explore the idea of converting the GCC code base from C to C++.

In short, he thinks the change can help to simplify the code and make interfaces more robust while, with luck, avoiding the C++ language's worst problems.
