As of midnight, tonight, California time, the GCC 4.0 branch will be
frozen, in preparation for the 4.0.1 release. After that point, all
non-documentation changes will require my explicit approval. To request
approval for a patch, please attach the patch or a pointer thereto to a
PR, and add me to the CC list for the PR.
I expect to build 4.0.1 RC1 tomorrow.
The reason that this release is slightly ahead of schedule is because of
a relatively frequently-encountered wrong-code regression in C++. In
the hopes of having to similarly accelerate 4.0.2, please let me know
ASAP if there are other problems that are considered equally severe.
With some disappointment, I note 34 critical PRs open against 4.0.1;
these are all either wrong-code, rejects-valid, or ICE-on-valid
regressions. Most also apply to 4.1; fixing these would make both
branches better.
Here are three bugs I'd really like to see fixed.
* 21528: SRA and/or aliasing problem.
* 21847: DCE over-eagerness.
* 20928: IA32 ICE.
