Or are you thinking about a separate branch for this? Yes, that is the goal of this branch: to switch GCC's implementation language. My hope is to keep this branch fairly close to mainline, except that gcc code will be compiled with C++. My hope is then to merge the branch back into mainline, at which point gcc will be written in C++. Questions like exactly which gcc code will be compiled with C++ on the branch remain open, but it will certainly include everything in libbackend.a. Ian
