Erik Leunissen <e.leunissen@xxxxxxxxx> asks on Sat, 17 Dec 2005 17:11:23 +0100 about which version of gcc introduced the feature that echo "int main(void) {return 0;}" | gcc -xc -c - produces a ./-.o file. The oldest version that I have running is 2.95.3 (26-Apr-2001); it acts that way (which was a surprise to me). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H.
