[comp.sys.atari.st] Problems with GNU C++

UA1S@DKAUNI2.BITNET ("Andreas Wiethoff") (05/09/90)

Is there somebody out there having some experience with G++?
After installing it to work with Gemini/Mupfel (I had to patch the file
'g++.ttp'; no '+'-chars in names of environmentvars allowed, but G++
requires 'G++LIB' and 'G++INC'), taking the next hurdle: The
preprocessor 'gcc-cpp.ttp' has the same name as the preprocessor from
GNU CC, but it is especially designed for G++; I discovered some more
serious problems:
The usual
  printf("hello C world\n"):
program compiles and runs fine, but doing the same using streams:
  cout << "hello C++ world\n";
It compiles, but (I think) the linker shows up with the cryptic message
  "Bogon alert!  wrote 400 syms, expected to write 445"
What does THIS mean???
Another problem is as follow:
Compiling programs with syntax errors often results in dropping two
bombs, afterwards, I get the correct error messages about the syntax
errors, everything works fine again. This can't be o.K...

Is there anywhere a newer version of G++ than 1.35.0. (I can FTP from
here.)
Does any other C++-Compiler exist for the ST?
Any comments, any help welcome!
