Non-GCC Cross Compilers? 7
Asmodeus asks: "Does anyone know of a commerical or commerically supported C++ cross compiler which is not GCC and which will target the complete gaumet of Enterprise platforms (including Win 32 DLLs). It must be hosted on Solaris and Windows NT/2K. GCC won't cut the mustard due to buggy sparc-64 bit support (incomplete target floating point implementation on host side) and the recent stability problems with 2.95+ have gotten people here a little nervous. I am currently not interested in compiling for embedded systems, only Enterprise grade platforms (and Win 32). The compiler must support shared library compilation for all target platforms, and ideally have a good debugger for all platforms.
I've looked around at a lot of the compilers out there and it looks as if this is an area not many companies are interested in. [Note to GCC manics - I use it and I think it's great, but we have reached the limits of its capabilities..] Any suggestions greatfully received!"

GCC for Intel based processors - gcc generates
pretty good code for intel, but when you go to
a less used platform you discover that some of
the optimisations it makes are silly. GCC seems
to put emphasis on keeping the number of registers it
uses to a bare minimum, even on platforms that have
lots of registers for it to use. I guess a lot of
this is due to the fact that almost everyone has intel boxes, so that
platform works, but noone has Alpha's/Sparcs and the time to dedicate improving their compilers.

When did GCC become a steaming heap of crap? This is about the fifth time in the past two weeks I've seen someone complain about a limitation of GCC or bugs.
We used to be proud to use gcc instead of the expensive piece of crap cc that came with the machine. What happened? To much technology to keep up with? Too much attention to other pieces of software?
