GCC 3.0 Status Report
=====================

Last Week
---------

  The major progress for the week was in the area of analyzing the
  open bugs.  We now have volunteers for 509 of the 958 bugs that 
  were originally open.  897 bugs remain open, meaning that a
  significant number were either already fixed, or have been
  fixed during this process.

  Progress was slowed by the fact that the 3.0 branch would not build
  on x86 for a couple of days.  Please take care to bootstrap and
  test all changes on the branch.  This is of course required on the
  mainline as well, but it is even more important on the branch.

  There were some compile-time performance improvements originating
  from Jakub Jelinek and Jeffrey Oldham.  

  Jeffrey Oldham also began preparing the POOMA testkit for GCC 3.0.
  He has verified that G++ compiles the sample programs that will be
  used, and is preparing a script to automatically build them, run
  them, and verify the results.

  Of course, other bugs were stomped.

Kudos

  The GCC 3.0 Volunteer of the Week (an award that I just made up,
  and which comes with absolutely no tangible reward of any kind) is a
  contributor whose work on the preprocessor is of course legendary.
  This week, however, he showed his willingness to plunge into 
  the relatively thankless job of bug reviewing, volunteering to
  review an astounding 113 bugs!

  Ladies and gentlemen, our volunteer of the week is...

  ...Neil Booth!

  Congratulations!

Next Week
---------

  Continue analyzing open bugs.

  Begin working on compile-time performance issues in earnest.
