Greetings! === TDM-GCC 4.8.1 is now available! ===
TDM-GCC is a native binary distribution of the GCC compiler for Windows. It targets 64-bit Windows (x86_64-w64-mingw32), or 32-bit Windows (i686-w64-mingw32, i686-pc-mingw32), and is mostly compatible with MinGW and MinGW-w64. More information and an easy-to-use Windows installer and updater are available at <http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/>. * Starting with the 4.8.1 release, TDM-GCC now uses POSIX-style threading in the GCC runtime libraries, based on the "winpthreads" library. It includes patches to incorporate static winpthreads compilation with a shared memory region, so your programs won't rely on a pthreads DLL but can still share thread handles among DLLs and EXEs. * The "-static-libstdc++" option which was previously removed is back. It doesn't do anything, since TDM-GCC uses static runtimes by default, but it doesn't cause an error anymore. * As of the 4.8.1 release, Ada is available for x86_64-w64-mingw32 & i686-w64-mingw32 once more. * As always, TDM-GCC includes a few other patches to make it more "Windows-friendly": full toolchain relocatability, coexisting 64-bit and 32-bit DLLs, and the oft-decried-yet-ever-useful shared-memory exception mechanism, among others. See the README for details. * Remember to use the "-fno-keep-inline-dllexport" flag to fix memory usage problems when linking DLLs with a large number of inline functions (such as wxWidgets). >>> TDM-GCC is available in TWO editions: You can choose between the classic TDM 32-bit edition and the *TDM64* edition. The TDM64 edition is based on the MinGW-w64 runtime API and the x86_64-w64-mingw32 GCC target, and can create both 32-bit and 64-bit code, with the "-m32"/"-m64" compiler flags. Please never mix 32-bit object files (.o), libraries (.a), DLLs or EXEs with 64-bit versions, and don't report it as a bug if you inadvertently do. Alongside the GCC 4.8.1 packages are binary packages of the MinGW-w64 runtime (based on SVN v3 branch, r6307), binutils (2.23.2), and gdb (7.6.1). TDM-GCC includes support for C, C++, Fortran, Objective-C/C++, and Ada, as well as support for LTO and the OpenMP multithreading extensions.
