Ummm, are you sure about that? See below.

Gcc 3.3 is a beta release. I wouldn't deliver *anything* based on a beta release.

According to Devang Patel at Apple:

One thing to watch out is that there are C++ ABI changes. So if your product uses C++ then you want to compile everything with GCC 3.3. If you're using third party library which has C++ interface then you want to get newer version of that library that is compiled using GCC 3.3. Similarly if you're shipping library with C++ interface then you want to explain this C++ abi mismatch to your customers.

AFAIK, Libraries and frameworks provided by Apple do not expose C++ interfaces, so you do not need to worry about it. (Let's not talk about IOKit and Kernel extensions at this moment:-)

If you find bugs in GCC 3.3, let us know asap so that we can fix them, if possible, in Panther.

Maybe the "June 2003 Developer Tools release" mentioned by Devang is something different from what can be downloaded from the ADC site. But the download on the ADC page is dated June 21, 2003. Just 5 days before Devang's email to this list. I think it is reasonable to assume that what is posted on the ADC site is GM, not Beta. Unless Devang is a troll, of course. :-)
