For me visual c++ is way less buggier as 2.95.2

If i compile with 2.95.2 with options
  -O6 -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-gcse -funroll-loops

Then already bugs show and diep doesn't even start searching as
gcc gets into an infinite loop it generates itself in code where
i initialize datastructure with selfdefined typedef which
declares 2 dimensional array with some pointers to shared memory...

About all snapshots of gcc generate a coredump here. I have posted this
already 3 times with some source examples of where it goes wrong to
gcc list, but never got back answer that it was 'fixed' or 'taken
into account to fix for next time'.

Don't know about latest snapshot, but i hope they did fix those bugs
in 2.95.3 already :)
