Hi,

Since the creation of the GCC 4.0 branch back in February a number of
minor C++ language changes seem to have slipped in.

It's certainly not our intent to include such changes for their own sake. However, such changes to occur, usually in the course of fixing a regression of some kind. If the code in question is actually invald, as in your examples, then, no we do not worry about that. Trying to fix regressions while simultaneously preserving buggy, undocumented behavior is simply too hard. If you require the full behavior of a particular GCC release (including both its strengths and its weaknesses), then the only practical choice is to carry around that your release yourself.
