Lines: 17 Hi, there. I have recently discovered a 'gcc' compiler on our system. When I began using it, it appeared that the code runs now much faster than the one produced by the standard 'cc'. But a while ago, somebody told me to stay away from this 'gcc', since it has quite a few serious bugs in producing code. He said, that it sometimes produces incorrect code, and the program does things it was not supposed to do. Since I have never encountered any bugs whatsoever (and I use it very extensively) I would like to ask whether you have encountered any bugs, and if you did, I would appreciate if you can send me their description. And also, if you have any benchmark results, I would like to see them very much. Thanks.
