GCC-3.3.4 release status report

[Gabriel Dos Reis <gdr at integrable-solutions dot net>]

Hi,

  The number of open PRs targetted for 3.3.4 has grown up to 46
(from 41 last report).  Some PRs have been fixed, others are new.
The set of critical PRs is now 8 and is different from what we got
last report:

  c++/13663
  c++/14507
  c++/14724
   
  middle-end/14711

  optimization/13653
  optimization/11841
  optimization/14640
  
  target/14040

Regression optimization/13653 was introduced very early in 3.3.0 and
seems to be hard to track and fix for 3.3.x.  It is already fixed in
3.4.0; if no progress can be made by the report, then I'll close it as
wontfix for 3.3.x.

Regression optimization/14640 seems to be caused the RTL_UNCHANGING_P
thingy.  Any help from those who finally understood that part of the
compiler would be appreciated.

Regression middle-end/14711 has been present since 3.0.  It occurs
only for large line numbers.  Here is a reduced testcase (from the
audit trail)

    # 4294967290
    void foo(void) { }

 
Regression c++/14724 seems to affect all versions of GCC since 3.2.x.


I'll be travelling to Europe (in a few hours) for a week.  I'll try to
read emails, but I do not anticipate to have a reliable connection.

Thanks,
