Hi!


My company is using gcc on HP-UX 10.20 and 11.0. I installed
all versions of gcc starting from 2.5 on all our machines - HP
boxes, IBM RS 6000 boxes, Sequent Boxes. As a result I am trying to
follow any news in gcc world.

There is a difference between 2.7.1.1 and 2.8.1 in terms of C++ (I believe,
since version 2, gcc and g++ were combined as one compiler g++).
2.8.1 works with templates much closer to C++ standard v.3.0, but
still doesn't have namespaces, correct exceptions and something else.
According to docs, gcc 2.8.1 does a little better job in terms of
optimizations.
It can affect you if you use -O3 parameter.
