RE: (GNU ?) help!! desperate measures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

["Ben" <bcronin@Princeton.EDU>]

g++ is more than just a script, but you're right as it is described as a
"front-end" to GCC. (GCC has several different layers for using different
front-ends, back-ends, and even has its own internal immediate language).
The real details of GCC are in the manual:

http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/onlinedocs/

I really suggest looking at it as it can probably answer most questions
about GCC.

Actually, AFAIK, g++ ISN'T a compiler, it is only a script to call the gcc
compiler. I'm not sure about this, so if anybody has any other ideas. Go
ahead. I sent a message regarding this earlier, but it doesn't look like it
got delivered, so sorry if I'm saying this again.
