Re: [Gomp-discuss] Gomp policy

[Lars Segerlund]

 Well, no one takes anybody serious until they have some code :-) ... ( except 
marketing, perhaps we should talk to gcc's marketing division, a top down 
approach :-) ).

 Anyhow, I think we need to get some usefull stuff together first, and after 
that we can have our branch, it's pretty much how things have worked in gcc in 
the past no ?

 I don't think they will consider including any code until it can generate 
executables for most of openMP or atleast a usfull subset.
