Omfg !

dude. come on!

what lang do you think gcc source is?

one of the hallmarks of a programing lang status - is having its own compiler/runtime created with that lnag.

what is wrong with that?

@magicMirror AFAIK GCC can be compiled with any C compiler.

@iiii it’s redundant firstly and the only reason I was considering building it was to build googles shitty BaZel build tool to build tensorflow

Which btw comes with a whole bunch of build errors of its own !

Speaking of which

Let’s say I have one limits.h which is the stl

But the build ALSO requires the contents of a different limits.h

And the errors first pumped out are solved by a #include<limits>
But this pulls the first limits.h

Do I solve the issue by directly specifying the path to the other limits.h ?

Bazel wtf

@rEaL-jAsE yeah that’s the language I primarily use without problems lol

Kind of ridiculous a language likely written in c++ would require itself to compile was my point in this post

Like I find myself doubting .net is written in c# or vb

@MadMadMadMrMim it's just basic bootstrapping...

@iiii eh.... basic bootstrapping requiring me to download another 100+ mb archive first that is a version back and does the same thing ?

basic bootstrapping can eat me.

@sbiewald newer version of gcc requires c++. Even the c compiler of gcc.

@Demolishun yeah. but thats different :P its c++. its the core language of the os, so upwards cross compilation makes sense. but as someone said you could use any c++ compiler of the same gen to do it, and I bet you don't have to go a version back to even compile with the same compiler.

and think on this. if i did that with gcc it would to step forward, not to step back several gens because google relies on a custom build system that only uses jdk 8 and 11

oh goddamn it... god fucking damn it *weeps*
