Hi Yufeng,
>I'm not sure how active you are involved with the GCC development...
I'm a user of GCC just like yourself, much like most of the people on this forum. This is a user-community supported self-help forum.
>...is there a technical problem preventing this from happening or it's just nobody is considering doing it?
Well, yes, it's a technical problem of sorts. The C++ specification does not support multithreading programming.
POSIX Threads in C/C++ are an "after market bolt-on", so to speak.
There are other languages which handle multithreaded programming better than C++: Ada and Java come to mind. Those are but two examples; I'm sure there are many other languages which are multithread savvy.
>We can consider other compilers but we really like to use GCC because then we can pretty much use the 'same' compiler for different platforms.
As I understand it, GCC supports Ada and supports Java. So you could stick with GCC.
