- I am involved in a project in which we need to be able to use g++
- (that is, the g++ component of the latest version of gcc) to compile*
- existing source code which was developed for a variety of other
- leading C++ compilers - including CFRONT, Borland, Zortech, and
- Sabre. I know there are still incompatibilities between g++ and
- the other dialects, but I need to know just how bad they are. For
- example, if I take an average body of CFRONT-compilable code, what
- percentage of it might be rejected by g++, in the sense of causing
- a fatal error?
-
- I would greatly appreciate the benefit of experience from anyone
- who's ported to g++ from a different compiler.
-
- (*To be more precise, I won't actually be generating executables from
- the source code. I'll be using g++ as a front-end to analyze
- existing source code and produce an intermediate representation which
- describes it - essentially an attributed syntax tree.)
-
- Thanks!
