The GNU Compiler Collection Version 3.3.3
Version 3.3.3 of GCC,
the GNU Compiler Collection, was recently released.
"This release was actually completed on February 14, but technical issues with the transition to new security measures for protecting FSF servers required a delay in the announcement."
The Changes, New Features, and Fixes document details the new features in the larger GCC 3.3.X release. The changes for version 3.3.3 include a ton of bug fixes and some performance optimizations. A few minor features have been added, including a new --with-sysroot flag, automatic detection of executable stacks, support for SSE3 instructions, and support for thread local storage debugging on the S390 architecture. The project build status page lists the many operating systems and Linux distributions that this version of GCC has been tested on. Congratulations to the many contributors for helping to move this huge project forward. (Log in to post comments)
The GNU Compiler Collection Version 3.3.3 Posted Mar 4, 2004 4:50 UTC (Thu) by JoeBuck (subscriber, #2330) [Link] In case anyone's curious about the reasons for the delay, the new system for assuring that all uploads to the GNU FTP server had proper digital signatures refused to accept files with "+" in their names, making it difficult to get the C++ support uploaded. There were some other "training" issues as well, as the GCC release team had never used it before. But this is presumably a one-time issue that won't bite us next time.
