Hello Eljay & Andrew
What you are proposing is not C, and is not C++. FSF does not control ISO 9899 nor ISO 14882. GCC does not drive platform ABI.
The heart of this issue is that GCC is not compatible with MS VC++, by defining wchar_t as 4-bytes and not providing any 16-bit Unicode support - it just going to be too hard to continue porting to Linux.
At the end of the day if you want to live in a world where you only consider yourself - then you can live in that world by yourself. Like you said, if I don't like it I can use another language and GCC will become irrelevant, you can all go your own separate way.
Also I have written my own scripting language, designed to add functionality post installation, its not that hard.
Sure, but you so far have failed to convince anyone that a bad decision has been made.
I wont bother repeating myself, it not my responsibility to cure your dogma, it just the end of me using GCC. I am sure that many other developers will run into the same problem and choose the same solution.
It was fun, Dallas. http://www.ekkySoftware.com/
