- For financial reasons we are considering switching from the Sun 2.1 C++ compiler to
- GNU's g++. I have already obtained release 2.3.3 of gcc, built it, and am beginning
- to run our massive C++ library through it. However I have a couple of questions for
- the net:
-
- 1. How do I build shared libraries with g++? I tried the -shared switch but
- it tells me that it doesn't recognize that option.
-
- 2. Aside from the obvious financial benefits of g++, can any of you former
- Sun C++ users inform me of the benefits/drawbacks to switching to g++.
-
- 3. I understand that g++ supports templates. Where exactly is the
- documentation for how to create template classes? The only temmplate
- implementation which I am familiar with is ODI's compiler.

- Thanks in advance for your responses,
