Troublesome.

It's not that my current project to graduate is driving me insane.

It's not that it'll be a steaming pile of poo by the time I'm done with it, but (barely) functional.

It's not even that I chose perhaps the hardest possible route I could have to get done.



It's that in a few weeks when gcc4.0 comes out, all this work will have been wasted.

*whimper*

NOT IMPORTANT

Remember, that to graduate, you DON'T have to use code that is up-to-date. You just have to have code that WORKED.
DO NOT worry about this, or spend one minute even figuring out what gcc4 is going to offer - you don't have time! Take it from A Man Who Knows - you need to duck your head down and steam ahead, damn the torpedoes, slings and arrows.

Oh I know. It's still just a darned shame.

he's right, you know. your goal is to make a prototype, not a market-ready product. prototype != support for current compiler versions

Yeah, but the amount of work it's taken to support just C++, even as a prototype, has been insane. Sad to see it probably have to all be ditched later.

Yup, should have gone the parser route. *sigh*
