<<

Note that this applies largely to the g++ frontend which has been

under the heaviest changes in the last few years.  The backend,

fortunately, is somewhat more stable.  I got it to produce illegal

code in some of my bug reports as well, but it might have got fed bad

information from the C++ frontend.>>

And indeed, Richard's comment was specifically about the backend, he should have said so, 
but he tends to assume that gcc means the part he takes care of :-)
