With C++11 transition, I am in process of switching nightly builds Win32 compiler to mingw (burrent builds are mingw produced already).

However, I have problems with theide inconsistently crashing. First I tried with TDM64, it was crashing for any optimization higher than -o1 level. Then tried tried latest mingw-w64, looked a bit better in the start, but still appears to be unstable.

Does anybody have the experience with building theide with mingw?

It is still possible that the bug is somewhere in the U++ code, OTOH, POSIX builds (with GCC) and MSC builds are 'stable' (I mean, there are sometimes bugs that have to be fixed, but nothing like mingw crashing in long proven routines - one time with TDM I have even analyzed the assembly and found apparent bug...)
