GCC 4.0.1 Status (2005-06-05)


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.
