GCC Release Status (2003-07-04)

[Mark Mitchell <mark at codesourcery dot com>]

GCC 3.3.1
=========

GCC 3.3.1 is 14 days away.

Changes to the branch after July 11 will require my explicit approval.

There are 88 regressions targeted for GCC 3.3.1 (down from 105 last
week).  That represents substantial progress -- both in terms of bugs
fixed and bugs reviewed and found to be unimportant.

Of these, 28 (down from 38) are C++ PRs.  That means that the C++
front end is still the single biggest contributor to the total
outstanding regressions, but is no longer as dominant as in past
weeks.

The following people have high-priority 3.3.1 PRs assigned to them:

  Eric Botcazou
  Gabriel Dos Reis
  Ben Elliston
  Jakub Jelinek
  Geoff Keating
  Aldy Hernandez
  Jan Hubicka
  Michael Matz
  Mark Mitchell
  Roger Sayle
  Stan Shebs
  Nathan Sidwell
  Danny Smith

If you do not plan to fix the bug(s) assigned to you, please un-assign
yourself ASAP.  Otherwise, please fix ASAP!
 
There are several target-specific PRs that will probably be deferred;
most are for seconday platforms such as SH and 68K.  There are several
documentation issues which will either be deferred or fixed at the
last minute.

PR 11376 is a miscompilation of Mozilla that occurs on PowerPC.  I
will get to this if nobody else does -- but it would be great if
anyone is available to investigate that PR, that would be great.

PR 10746 is a Java GC bug; are the Java people working on this one?

GCC 3.4
=======

GCC 3.4 Stage 2 starts at midnight tonight.

There are 282 (up from 272) PRs targeted for GCC 3.4 at present.  Of
these, 107 are C++ PRs.  We'll have our work cut for us for GCC 3.4...
