Can anyone tell me anything about GCC 4.0? Has anyone tried it? I read on /. (I know) that it's basically 3.4 with some penalties in speed; but I haven't tried it myself so I don't know.
Any thoughts?

My only thought is that you fail at life for reading /. and should kill yourself now.

Slashdot has become inhabited by all the dregs of geekhood. The only poster there who still have a clue are old-timers who read it out of habit (and who haven't left to greener pastures). :/
Can't help you with the GCC4. Let's hope it lives up to expectations as it's refined.

It's completely different internally, and faster at some -O's.
You tell me. I suspect a large number have gone back to mailing lists and moderated newsgroups. A few may have gone to more specialized boards (ie, hydrogenaudio).
The difference is like night and day. Slashdot is pure and utter stupidity by now. More often than not "+5 informative" should be "-1 idiotic fuck who sounds authoritative".

Single Static Assignment is just a way of cleaning up the compiler internals.
