[Tinycc-devel] modern c++ compiler written in C

[sylware]

Hi,

Since version 4.8, gcc is now c++. clang is c++. Furthermore, the c++
standardization body is going bersek in complexity (c++11->c++14...).

I'm worried about compiling an "everyday use" c++ compiler from a C compiler on
on a medium term timeframe. Some critical "user level" applications are written
in the latest c++ dialect, and this dialect will soon be compilable only with
c++ written c++ compiler, hence shutting down for good any C compiler.

I did not say I like c++, quite the opposite actually: I would rather port to
C89/99 any "critical" c++ components.

What are you thoughts about this issue?

regards,
