gcc-4.2 for Leopard

[Rainer Müller]

Hi,

currently we hardcode gcc-4.0 for Leopard (or Darwin 9) in 
port1.0/portconfigure.tcl, but as far as I am informed the next Xcode 
release will contain gcc-4.2. But will it also still contain gcc-4.0?

I think we need an additional check for the Xcode version in our default 
selecting code here from port1.0/portconfigure.tcl:

     if {""==${configure.compiler}} {
         switch -exact "${os.platform} ${os.major}" {
             "darwin 7" { set configure.compiler gcc-3.3 }
             "darwin 8" { set configure.compiler gcc-4.0 }
             "darwin 9" { set configure.compiler gcc-4.0 }
         }
     }

Wouldn't an option in macports.conf to select the default compiler be 
useful?
