Problems: Fewer alternative C++ compilers, so harder to test against 'Trusting Trust' attackProblems: Fewer alternative C++ compilers, so harder to test against 'Trusting Trust' attackPosted Jun 18, 2008 19:19 UTC (Wed) by willy (subscriber, #9762)In reply to: Problems: Fewer alternative C++ compilers, so harder to test against 'Trusting Trust' attack by pynm0001 Parent article: Converting GCC to C++
> Can an ANSI C compiler build gcc? Yes. Indeed, until a few years ago, GCC could be compiled with pre-ANSI compilers. Thankfully, functions now have prototypes. On the trusting trust issue, there's nothing to stop you starting with your own trusted C compiler, compiling gcc/g++ 4.3, then using those to compile gcc/g++ 5.0.
