Anyway Apple is moving away gcc by developing a closed proprietary compiler call clang. Hum wait, my bad, clang is OpenSource and released under the BSD license. Just out of curiosity, can you tell me how an apple hater end on an Apple developer mailing list ?

This is NOT porting, it is pulling a SUN; call it standard but make it proprietary. The framework-supporting extensions have been part of GCC for, literally, years. I might be wrong, but I’m pretty sure they were part of the enhancements which NeXT contributed back to the GCC project as part of support for Objective-C. It just happens that GCC only enables this functionality when built for Darwin, but it’s part of the mainline source (indeed, there have been plenty of people over the years asking if it can be enabled on other platforms, too). In this case, looking in framework paths for headers is a pretty straightforward backwards-compatible enhancement. Not exactly “pure BULLSHIT”, whichever way you look at it. You don’t ignore the workings of the C and GNU compilers (which in many cases are one and the same — clang behaves the same way, though, for obvious reasons); you just RTFM when developing on the platform and be aware that the compilers do more on Darwin than they do on other systems. There are *dozens* of platform-specific aspects to the GNU Compiler System and Binutils. Are they all bullshit, too?

As I said before, stop wasting bandwidth. Open source means open portability. How does adopting a "very special version" of gcc or anything else met those specs?
