GCC 4.2
jmccay:
GCC 4.2 has been released (May 13, 2007). http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.2/ Has anyone tried it yet? GCC 4.2 was supposed to be the first release that included the patch to fix the many errors produced when compiling wxWidgets.

Where did you hear this? And for that matter, what do you mean by many errors? wxWidgets compiles with many warnings, but only a few errors with an unpatched GCC 4. Most of the warnings are gone when you use "-Wno-attributes".
At any rate, I have built GCC 4.2 (look for a link in my sig sometime in the next few days), and it does still require a patch in order to compile wxWidgets successfully.

GCC 4.2 was supposed to the first of the GCC 4 line that the minGW team thought worth trying to get it working as an minGW built product.
GCC 4.3 is supposed to the first of the GCC 4 line that supports minGW as an secondary platform. This should mean that no patches should be needed to make minGW version of GCC 4.3.

I meant the warnings. I have not tried GCC 4. There was a patch (issue: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20345 patch {from the bottom of the page}: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-06/msg01511.html). That was supposed to fix the "type attributes are honored only at type definition" warning problem. I had previous mentioned in a previous post the patch http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,3422.15.html. I probably should mentioned the previous post in my post.

The specific warning you refer to is gone, but further warnings still remain (some of which, as before, can be disabled with -Wno-attributes).
