I came across this interesting link on Planet GNOME, about two
presentations made at a GCC Summit (by Ian Lance Taylor), concerning the
reimplementation of parts of GCC, et al. in C++
http://www.airs.com/blog/archives/209
If find the idea of reimplementing gcc in C++ to be interesting, if
redundant. There are some interesting points on speed improvements, but
largely nothing especially impressive.
However, the presentation on a C++ reimplementation of the linker (ld),
is well, gold ;-). The results are *very* impressive, and I'm surprised
something like that was pulled off largely by one man. If GCC sees such
improvements as well...
What do you all think about it?
*OT ALERT*
And lastly, since I predict this will be raised anyway, one can't help
but notice the gorgeous beamer theme. I've never seen more beautiful
presentations then those made with LaTeX and beamer.
