Hi, I don't think it's gcc's version that's causing the problem, it's the bug of some local port like apple's gcc. In fact, I've been using mingw gcc 3.4.5 for a long time and doesn't seem to have issue. It'd be nice to locate the specific bug and write a small test problem to check for it (something like NESTED_FUNC_ATTR), instead of reply blindly on gcc version. (what if apple's gcc-4.2 also contain some bug ?) -- Bean gitgrub home: http://github.com/grub/grub/ my fork page: http://github.com/bean123/grub/ _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
