I see that the build by a C++ compiler has been the subject of the GCC
Gathering at Google:
C++ style and migration crowl writing and using C++ in gcc
It is not quite clear what the outcome of this discussion was.
Is there still interest in daily builds like mine ?
Yes, it's definitely useful.
The immediate blocker to using C++ in gcc is the Ada frontend.
--enable-build-with-cxx and --enable-languages=ada do not work together.
Ah, OK.
Just drop me a note when a regular test including Ada starts to be
useful (I probably have to skip some other front end language in favor
Ada to stay within the two hour elapsed time window between two weather
forecasting runs).
BTW, the ultimate reason I asked was that it turned out that running an
ordinary quad core PC to the max doesn't come for free.
Last month I got past year's electricity bill - it turns out that I am
now (16 hours of weather forecasting and 4 hours of GCC bootstrapping
per day) using 3200 KWh a year - to the tune of 1100 Euros.
So the question whether a run is useful is certainly relevant :-)
