As promised, I've got new versions of gcc, g++, and gas for A/UX 2.0 ready. They are: gcc-1.37.94 (the latest beta), g++-1.37.2- (ditto), and gas-1.37 (the latest official release). The entire package uses gas and generates COFF files with DBX debugging information. I've done enough testing that I'm fairly sure everything works. gcc has been used to compile gas and g++, gas was used to build just about everything (yes, there's a recursion there; gas was rebuilt with the latest version of gcc when I had it :-)), and g++ has been used to successfully build InterViews (which seems to be a fairly useful stress test). At this point I've stopped supporting Apple's as. There are residual patches in gcc for as, but I know that they are incomplete. There is no support at all for as in g++. With gas performing well and producing better code, there doesn't seem to be much use in supporting as, unless you want to use sdb (speaking of which, I hope to have a new release of gdb Real Soon Now :-)). The new versions are, as always, on wuarchive.wustl.edu in the following files: gas-1.37.aux.tar.Z Source for gas-1.37 patched for A/UX. gcc-1.37.94.aux.tar.Z Source for gcc-1.37.94 patched for A/UX. g++-1.37.2-.aux.tar.Z Source for g++-1.37.2- patched for A/UX. gcc-1.37.94.bin.tar.Z Binaries for gas and gcc. g++-1.37.2-.bin.tar.Z Binaries for g++. gas-1.37.aux.diffs Patches for gas-1.37 gcc-1.37.94.aux.diffs Patches for gcc-1.37.94 g++-1.37.2-.aux.diffs Patches for g++-1.37.2- The g++ binaries contain a stub version of libg++, sufficient to link programs but not providing any features. I hope to put out a libg++ fairly soon. All of the binaries should be untarred in /usr/local/Gnu. Good luck with all these; as always, report bugs and/or new features to coolidge@cs.uiuc.edu and I'll try to get them in the next release. --John -------------------------------------------------------------------------- John L.
