Re: cygwin 1.5.18 breaks gcc 2.95 compatibility

Your example compiles ok with gcc-3.4.4, so why want you use gcc-2.x?

Well, no wonder that int main(){} compiles ok with gcc-3.4.4. This is the minimal test case.


Maybe you can recompile gcc-2.95 if you really must use it?

Do you know where can I find cygwin sources, or at least cygwin patches?


However, gcc-2.95.3 was released 2001 which is about four years ago,
it is time to move on!

I use the following compilers:


$ g++-2.exe --version
2.95.3-10

$ g++-3.3.exe --version
g++-3.3 (GCC) 3.3.3 (cygwin special)

$ g++ --version
g++ (GCC) 3.4.4 (cygming special) (gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)

I need it. There are third parties out there that use certain compiler version and just won't upgrade. Slight differences in compiler or compiled code can be a factor.
