And some (including yours truly) consider this little more than theft. Especially since there is GCC-bashing on the one side, and taking the bits they like on the other. >> Since for me benefits to users of gcc are pretty much the same as >> benefits to gcc, yes, I see a benefit. > > By that rule, it is clearly beneficial for some gcc users to compile > Fortran using dragon-egg to take advantage of OpenCL. Ergo, dragon-egg > is beneficial to GCC. No it "is" not, you "think it is", i.e. opinion. Again, I don't share that opinion at all, because this means there is less motivation for developers to add OpenCL to GCC itself. Anyway, we're waaaaaaaaaaay off-topic here from the original question about improving ObjC in GCC. Ciao! Steven
