Hmm. What other compiler (for any language) do you feel has no bugs? Personally, I don't trust _any_ compiler if I don't have a support contract for it. > Ok, my 2 cents on the thread on why Ada is not popular: No freely > available compiler that is reliable, with known bugs fixed, and can > compile available code. Again, what other compiler meets this criteria? GCC C, maybe. _not_ GCC C++; I have lots of code that won't compile. But C is not a very modern language, and I'll take GNAT 3.15p over the latest GCC C compiler any day. -- -- Stephe
