FWIW, I've been helping fix bugs with modules in GCC for the last year and a half or so, and I think we're getting pretty close to something stable. Many real-world examples work now work smoothly. There are of course still bugs to work on if you would like to help fix some of them, and I'm sure that as more people start using modules there'll be many more issues found! So even just attempting to use modules in your own projects with a recent build of GCC and reporting any bugs would be very helpful, if you're interested in contributing. Nathaniel
