BSD Dissatisfied with gcc... why?BSD Dissatisfied with gcc... why?Posted Nov 17, 2008 18:55 UTC (Mon) by mheily (guest, #27123)In reply to: BSD Dissatisfied with gcc... why? by pr1268 Parent article: pcc seeks contributions to reach 1.0 milestone The previous LWN article on pcc cited in the summary explains why there is interest in an alternative to GCC. Licensing isn't the main issue. The BSDs are interested in a fast, stable, simple, reliable, and portable C compiler. If PCC can be improved to make it production-ready, it would serve their needs better than GCC does today.
