Precedence: bulk Hi, I downloaded the djdev202.zip and egcs1.1 and have been playing around with it for a day or two and managed to get the package working after reading the directions (hey, there's an idea!). I thought I'd give this compiler a torture test so I installed the latest version of SGI STL 3.11 after adjusting the filenames. I thought I'd report that it works well, except for the string class where I had to make some adjustments. (char_traits uses __null as a variable, which is now a keyword for some reason). One adjustment I had to make was coming up with a bare bones wchar.h and wctype.h class to satisfy . If no one objects, I'd like to develop and contribute code for some of the functions that belong in that header. Namely, the isw* functions (iswspace, iswpunct, etc) and a few others that wouldn't require studying the Unicode standard to develop. And I've also modified my headers to include to provide a common definition of NULL, since GNU deemed it neccessary to define NULL as __null in some of its C++ headers. I then replaced all instances of "#define NULL 0" in the headers with "#include ". That way, if GNU change NULL yet again, it could be changed in one place. Would that be worth contributing also?
