Fine, fine.
Porting 2M loc to Linux using yet another compiler (intel's, to get around exception handling bugs in gcc 2.95.X). So far I'm doing ok with the port... I have 4 compiler bugs logged as issues with Intel support, and a 5th on the way as soon as I create a manageable test case. :-P
I had the system running last night... 53% of the validation tests passed (each test consists of multiple, multiple unit tests). gcc 2.95.X only made it to 44%. Once that's done we do a bake-off against Solaris and NT.
All in all I'm impressed with the Intel compiler. Lots of nice built-in warnings that are catching things other compilers didn't.
Anyway, the above describes the last 1.5 months to varying degrees of accuracy. :-)
I forgot to add: Duncan's writing a web page for himself now (and a portal site as well). So when it's done he can update people directly. ;-)
