Hi,
There were over 250 PRs open against GCC-4.0.4. Almost all of
them are "benign" in the sense that we can leave without fixing them
in GCC-4.0.4 -- many are already fixed in more recent versions.
I'm now giving attention only to those PRs marked as blocker or
critical. I've identified three:
tree-optimization/29605
* Wrong code generation when optimization is one.
Andrew Pinski believes it is "Out of SSA" doing it.
This touches middle-end, and will be left unfixed -- unless the
fix is really really trivial.
tree-optimization/28778
* not to be fixed in GCC-4.0.x
middle-end/28683
* has a "simple" patch applied to GCC-4.2.x and GCC-4.1.x.
I'm considering applying to GCC-4.0.4.
So, middle-end/28683 is the only PR that might get fixed. I'll
appreciate middle-end maintainers have a second look at the patch and
say how confident they fill about it. Tomorrow, I'll issue a
pre-release for testing. A final release should be expected for
January 31st, 2007.
Thanks,
-- Gaby
