An important goal of egcs is to allow wide scale testing of experimental features and optimizations; therefore, egcs contains some features and optimizations which are still under development. However, egcs has been carefully tested and should be comparable in quality to most gcc releases. egcs-1.0 contains many improvements and features not found in gcc-2.7 and even the soon to be released gcc-2.8 compilers. * Integrated C++ runtime libraries, including support for most major linux systems! * The integrated libstdc++ library includes a verbatim copy of SGI's STL release. * Integrated GNU Fortran compiler * New instruction scheduler * New alias analysis code See the egcs web page for a more complete list of new features, installation instructions, build/test status, caveats, mailing lists, etc. http://www.cygnus.com/egcs You can download egcs-1.0 directly from ftp.cygnus.com:/pub/egcs/releases/egcs-1.0 The release should be available on the egcs mirrors sites shortly. See the egcs home page for a list of mirror sites. We'd like to thank the numerous people that have contributed new features, test results, bugfixes, documentation updates, web page updates, general suggestions, etc. Unfortunately, they're far too numerous to mention by name. Questions, comments, etc should be directed to egcs@cygnus.com Bug reports should be directed to egcs-bugs@cygnus.com
