Fwd: GCC 4.6.0 Status Report (2011-02-13)

[Tobias Burnus <burnus at net-b dot de>]

Fortran regression status: 8 regressions, 6 GCC 4.6 regressions, 4 GCC 
4.6 only regressions. Most important:

45586 -	restrict issue; pending review:
	http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2011-02/msg00100.html
44945 - Wrong decl for module vars

Nice to have:
47694 -	Fortran read from named pipe (4.3 to 4.6 regression)
	odd buffering issue
45743 - Decl issue for external functions without explicit interface

Post 4.6 items:
42954 - Target CPP, requires ~14 gcc/config/* to be modified
46818 - "subpointer" issue, requires a new array descriptor

Regressions only affecting earlier versions:
47569 - GCC 4.3 to 4.5 regression, for 4.6 just fixed
	Backporting pending
46896 - GCC 4.3 to 4.5 regression, for 4.6 fixed
	unlikely to play a role in real code, could be set to
	FIXED in 4.6 only

Status
======

Trunk is in Stage 4, for regression fixes and documentation fixes.

The numbers of regressions have continued to go down since the
previous report, but more work is still needed especially on the P1
regressions.  User-visible improvements relative to 4.5 should also be
documented in gcc-4.6/changes.html if not already mentioned there.
Once the P1 regressions have been resolved and no P3 regression
appears to merit classifying as P1, the 4.6 branch and a first release
candidate can be created.  Maintainers are reminded of the importance
of being conservative in what patches go in until then.

P1		  9     -  1
P2		 93	-  8
