I was trying to understand the exact meaning of a loose statement
floating around ("gcc has moved to C++ from version 4.7 onwards).
I reckon from http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/gcc-in-cxx that now gcc is
compiled using C++. However, the very first line of the description
confused me. It says:
GCC has been building stages 2 and 3 in C++ mode for a while.
My understanding was that stage 2 is built using the compiler created
in stage 1 and stage 3 is built using the compiler created in stage 2.
(Please see slide 17/53 in
http://www.cse.iitb.ac.in/grc/gcc-workshop-12/downloads/slides/gccw12-config-build.pdf).
Can someone tell me what is the meaning of building stage 2 in C++
mode? If I restrict my languages (using --enable-languages) to C,
My belief is that it is no more possible to configure a recent GCC straight
(non-cross) compiler without --enable-language=c++
(that is, if you ask only for --enable-languages=c either configure
should bark, or it should also implicitly add C++).
I was able to build gcc-4.7.2 with --enable-languages=c only :-)
I can't explain in the details how ...
Cheers, & best wishes for 2013.
