.... oh, and BTW - according to your report, it's the stuff compiled with Intel
C++ that crapped up, while the MS-compiled stuff runs fine.

See?

yah its called a C++ standard to which MS cant stick. Sun microsystems sued and
won ten million (albeit a drop in the bucket) for niggin on Java contract.
Nothing "religious" about it. Its called reality. Denial changes nothing, get
out of it.

Question #1: What on earth have Java and Sun Microsystems to do with C++??

Question #2: What has a C++ compiler with nonstandard features to do with
developing portable software that adheres to standards?

Ad #2 I can tell you from my experience that the answer in a well-managed
project is: Nothing. You just don't use those nonstandard features.

Even though an MS Visual Studio project is maintained for POV-Ray, the render
engine is designed to compile on Unix systems just as fine. And even the
Windows frontend is designed to compile with other compiler suites, most
notably the Intel C++ compiler.

Mingw sucks just as much as any other particular runtime environment you are
custom-tailoring a product for. The best solution is to not custom-tailor it to
*ANY* particular RTE.

So shut up that childish "my platform is better than yours", because that's not
how *real* portable software is developed.

Perhaps Microsoft C++ extensions? ;)

.... and by the way, no: Most likely not, because the older versions of POV-Ray
used the Intel C++ as the reference compiler ,)
