Did you try to compile it with gcc 2.96 (before I retry)?

Please make the necessary changes in the code only.

Please let us deal with the const problem after the change.

Thanks.

Please keep the same names as before.
We will do additional cleanup afterwards.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Bad news. Maybe the C++ template system is just too monstruous
(as I think it is; too much wisdom kills the wisdom) and far from
competitive with the inherently better gencc system :^)

Did you try to compile with

export CXXFLAGS="-O3 -fexpensive-optimizations -malign-loops=2
-malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti
-fno-implicit-templates"

I do not think that reference counting will affect the compilation time a lot.

If the compilation time does not remain prohibitory (I hope it won't),
I also remind you that you should adapt the additial programs
in TeXmacs-misc to the nogencc convention.

Good luck...
