QUESTION: (to the GCC developers/maintainers of 3.4.X line)
What are your [ballpark, subjective, gut-feeling] expectations about:
1) The schedule of the future 3.4.X bug-fix releases (how often and
how many and for how long).
2) Having all (most) major and medium-importance known compiler
issues taken care of -- in the nearest 3-6 months.
LYRICS:
I believe this info can be of great interest not only to us but also to
other people who cannot upgrade compiler versions too often and therefore
try to catch the next "great and stable" release of GCC compiler.
IMHO, 3.4.X is going to be just such a workhorse -- as even the forefather
of the line, 3.4.0, has been very good to us, and "the great beginning is
half a battle" :-). Before 3.4, we tried but could not switch to any new
version -- since 3.0.4 (!). Almost got so desperate as to apply ABI-breaking
patches for 3.3.X, but 3.4 came and saved us.
Regards and Thanks,
