Yes, or abandon it entirely. We surely don't need it in our base system. Even for ports, I'd be surprised to find anything useful that still relied on libg++. Any software that still uses libg++ is almost certainly unmaintained, and uncompilable with modern C++ compilers. (I.e., it does not conform to the C++ standard.) Libg++ is _ancient_. It pre-dated templates even. John -- John Polstra [email protected] John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
