You're right about that, you'll need a C++ hello world (<iostream>, cout). This is in the archives anyway and (should be) well known.


(why could this change not have been made _after_ 4.9 is out the door, btw.? Or before 5.0-R FWIW.)


4.9 and 5.0-R are independent branch. By your logic we should wait to 4.10 or 4.11 or 4.12 or ... before any substantial change can be made
to -CURRENT.

The point is that is isn't wise to commit a change like the -pthread deprecation that breaks many ports just before a ports-freeze.


The reason gcc-3.3.1 was committed before 5.0-R should
be fairly obvious.

I was concerned with the -pthread deprecation.


I feel that a FreeBSD that manages to break so many existing configure-scripts and build systems is degraded in usefulness.

Please see the Handbook for the distinction between -CURRENT and -STABLE.

Oh please.
