This is indeed the path users must take right now: choosing a different compiler build depending on what features they want to use. In many cases they don't even understand the features they're choosing among, or when to use which toolchain. * SJLJ unwinding * DW2 unwinding * SEH unwinding * Win32 threading * POSIX threading The choice among these and other GCC build-time options is standardized into a single canonical GCC build for any given Linux distribution. But MinGW-w64 users must install, maintain, and switch back and forth among multiple toolchains. For MinGW-w64 to remain viable, it needs to move toward a single canonical distribution. I agree with Torbjorn's request, though I have somewhat more of an understanding of the difficulties in implementing it. -John E. / TDM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
