I'm looking forward to this as well and will test it as well.

We certainly hope so.

Performance

We are in the early stage for MinGW so I can't tell. The generated code for Microsoft is usually better than the one from Borland because their Free version does not offer what their paying version used to in terms of optimizations.

Looking forward ...

Great, I will definitely be an alpha-tester, I disliked the need for a VC installation under Windows anyway.

Now of course the question is: will we be able to bootstrap EiffelStudio on Windows using MinGW? ;-)

Performance?

Have you had a chance to see how finialized applications compare for performance wrt Borland and Microsoft back ends? Colin Adams
