Hello folks ,
?
I am interested to know which? is the best way os using the gcc compiler .
?
1) Should i use the gcc provided by the Linux distribution ?which comes with
their own patches?and which is not the latest?gcc?( for ex: RHEL 5.x? or RHEL
6) or
2) Should i download the latest gcc from gnu website , install and start using
it
?
option 2 has a catch , if? i?don't use? vendor supplied gcc , the warranty will
be void if some thing breaks in production and if support issue is raised with
vendor they will come back and ask which compiler is used .
?
But still i want to use the latest GCC compiler from gnu website because of lot
of improvements and bug fixes .
?
Please advise , is it best practise to get the latest gnu gcc from gnu website
or to use vendor supplied gcc for real time production .
?
Thanks
Narendra
