hello all,
I' was thinking about gcc.
Does anyone know (I'm not on my mac now) if gcc that comes with the compiler bundles, has altivec and propolice support build-in?
 
It does have altivec support. Not sure what propolice is. gcc is the native compiler for Cocoa, it's what is used for just about everything on OS X.

So, it compiles with altivec extension ?!
I knew about a patch to enclose altivec support in gcc for linux ppc, so I was not sure if macintosh bundle was already packaged with it.

Propolice is another extension (not as processor dependant as altivec, MMX, 3D Now! etc.) that protect from smashing the stack attack.
I think it's from ibm but not sure about that.
