GNU,
Is there an end-of-support date for GCC version 4.3.0? I'm assisting a
customer here at NAWCWD China Lake, California, to register software in our
Navy database, DADMS. In order to use (or purchase) software, it must be
approved in DADMS. One of the things we must show is proof of vendor
support for the particular version. Normally with
Commercial (COTS) software, the manufacturer has an end-of-support or
end-of-life date, but I'm not sure how this works for free or open source
software. I looked at the below links, but could not find the answer. Any
help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gary Nordvall

I'm sorry, but as this is only a general contact address, I cannot properly
answer technical questions such as yours. The best I can do is refer you to
the GCC Manual at http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/ and Frequently Asked
Questions at http://gcc.gnu.org/faq.html. If neither of those provide an
answer to your question, please, contact the GCC users'
help list. You can learn more about it at http://gcc.gnu.org/lists.html.
I am sorry that I couldn't be of more help.
Sincerely,
