I think GCC has been really keen on supporting ObjC and ObjC++.
They have entire testsuites that test the languages, and make no changes
that ever break it. It's remarkable how hard they support it given that
none of them uses it. ;-)
What we need to realize, in my view, is that the "GNU Objective-C Compiler"
and the "GNU Objective-C Runtime" can only be maintained by the "GNU
Objective-C
People". And the "GNU Objective-C People" is mostly us (GNUstep), the people
on this mailing list! ;-)
As gnustep-make is mostly complete and feature-full (and so I can maintain it
with low overhead), I have personally decided to give part of my
free-software-hacking
attention (for the foreseeable future) to Objective-C support in the FSF GCC
and in the FSF GNU Objective-C runtime library.
Thanks
