[Fwd: GCC 4.4.0 Status Report (2008-11-27)]

gfortran status:
a) Regressions: I/O performance (-> deferred to 4.5), ICE with contains
(patch available; ice on invalid); bad-symbol ICE for valid code, which
never worked (PR36463; could be deferred).
b) Fortran 95 bugs: 5 of which 2 are deferred to 4.5; one of the 3
non-suspended PRs is already fixed on the trunk
c) There are 16 wrong-code bugs, ranging from low to medium priority.

Status
======

Trunk is in Stage 4 (regression and documentation fixes mode).

GCC 4.4 will be branched when there are no open P1 regressions for 4.4
and the total number of P1, P2 and P3 regressions for 4.4 is 100 or
below.  Trunk will open for Stage 1 for GCC 4.5 immediately after 4.4
branches, and 4.4.0-rc1 will be made from the branch shortly after
branching.

The old register allocator has not yet been removed but should be
removed soon.  The list of targets not yet converted to IRA is
unchanged from the previous report:

arc
m32c
m68hc11
mmix
pdp11
score
vax

Unconverted targets will be added to the deprecation list when the old
allocator is removed, and removed from trunk along with the other
deprecated targets shortly after 4.4 branches; until then, target
maintainers may remove them from the deprecation list as part of the
patch converting them to IRA without any further approval for the
undeprecation being needed.  Although some people have suggested they
might work on conversion of some of these targets, the only one I am
aware of actual activity on converting is m32c.

Vladimir, is there any news on the patch to remove the old allocator
since <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2008-10/msg00428.html>, or on getting
m32c and IRA working together?

There is as yet no installation documentation in install.texi pointing
to the libraries required for Graphite, but since a suitable PPL
release is now available it should be possible for a corresponding
Cloog release to be made, tarballs to be placed in the infrastructure
directory and documentation updated.

Quality Data
============

Priority	  #	Change from Last Report
--------	---	-----------------------
P1		  9     -  4
P2		105	-  9
P3		 11	+  8
--------	---	-----------------------
Total		125	-  5

There are a total of 5150 open bugs in Bugzilla, counting both
regressions and non-regressions.  It seems quite likely that many of
the older bugs have in fact been fixed since they were filed, but we
don't have any good procedures for occasionally reviewing bugs to see
if they are still applicable to current trunk.
