Please read gnu.bug.g++. You will discover that I have personally posted
about 10 bugs which exist in all released g++ implementations. Two of
the bugs are so bad that they make g++ unusable for any serious work.
No patches seem to exist for these bugs. My program works perfectly on
AT&T C++.

In my case, I would have to say that g++ gave me significantly less than
what I paid for it.
