According to Hans-Jörg Frieden, AmigaOS 4 SDK beta preview is to be released to Earlybird owners just before Christmas.
Reading some comments, it seems Amiga OS 4 beta is to be released, and it should include the final SDK.
Complete with autodocs, include files, compilers, binutils and some sample code, altough at the moment, without an IDE.

FYI, Apple both provide GCC 2.95 and GCC 3.3 with XCode (latest SDK for MacOS X 10.3 (Panther)) as shown below:

Welcome to Darwin!
[Computer:~] user% gcc2 -v
Reading specs from /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/2.95.2/specs
Apple Computer, Inc. version gcc-938, based on gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
[Computer:~] user% gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/3.3/specs
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495)
[Computer:~] user% uname -a
Darwin Computer.local 7.0.0 Darwin Kernel Version 7.0.0: Wed Sep 24 15:48:39 PDT 2003; root:xnu/xnu-517.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc
And you can select GCC2 in XCode if GCC3 fail to generate correct code.
That's also the reason why all MacOS X in not compiled with GCC3 and some parts are still compiled using GCC 2.95.
So yes GCC 3.x is the default GCC for MacOS X, but GCC 2.95 is still provided for the cases when GCC3 fails. It's the same in the linux distributions out there.
I hope the OS 4 Team will also provide a port of GCC 2.95 in their SDK for the cases where GCC 3 still fails.
GCC 3 is still a young product and as shown on http://gcc.gnu.org/ it stills have bugs including some critical bugs which will obviously be fixed in future releases, but until a release that is proven to be very accurate arrive, it's recommended to provide both GCC 2.95 and GCC 3 in SDKs.
That's what everybody who provide GCC3 do today (Linux/Unix distributions/flavors, MacOS X and others OSes using GCC as their main compiler) and I hope that's what OS 4 Team will do. |
