Compilers Quotes

Real improvements in compilers are relatively cheap compared to what is spent on a new release of a complete C++ implementation.

First, I`d like to see the basic tools such as compilers, debuggers, profilers, database interfaces, GUI builders, CAD tools, and so forth fully support the ISO standard.

Tool vendors have made a good start, but have much work to do in tools that depend on compilers and other source code analyzers.

I also hope that C++ implementation vendors will spend a slightly larger fraction of their budgets on improving the quality and performance of their compilers rather than concentrating too heavily on novelties.
