My Collection of Gems

I recently blogged about the way that GCC sometimes can write poetry. This has resulted in a small collection of gems and solutions: GCC Compiler Errors (and their meaning). Enjoy! If you want me to add something, do tell me. Either through a comment, or just mail me. I'm e8johan and use GMail.

The page is a part of the new wiki-based digitalfanatics.org - and the style sheets will need some more love before all is done. It is readable - but sometimes mixes colours that where not intended to be mixed. We're currently in the process of moving contents to the wiki, so there will be changes but the links posted here aught to stay valid.

Link to bug reports in GCC bugzilla?

I still think that this would have more visibility elsewhere but it is your project and you handle it as you wish.

From a C++ linguist's viewpoint I'm sure that the messages are not considered bugs - so I don't think that it is relevant to report them as bugs.

As for the point of creating this - it is not to put the GCC developers down. I think that GCC is really great. The point is to explain some of the more obscure situations that you might find yourself in.

Regarding placement - as I've stated earlier I would like to maintain control of the project. However, linking to it from an external resource is still a posibility. The most relevant and central place for it would be google, so that people can find it when experiencing difficulties.
