GCC 4.3.0 Status Report (2007-08-09)

[Mark Mitchell <mark at codesourcery dot com>]

Summary
-------

We entered Stage 2 on July 6th.  I plan to put us into Stage 3 on
September 10th.  At that point, we will accept only bug-fixes -- no
more new features until Stage 1 for GCC 4.4.

Are there any folks out there who have projects for Stage 1 or Stage 2
that they are having trouble getting reviewed?  Any comments
re. timing for Stage 3?

Quality
-------

At this point, we have 194 P3-or-higher regressions open against
4.3.0:

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=4.3&target_milestone=4.0.4&target_milestone=4.1.3&target_milestone=4.2.2&target_milestone=4.3.0&known_to_fail_type=allwordssubstr&known_to_work_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&gcchost_type=allwordssubstr&gcchost=&gcctarget_type=allwordssubstr&gcctarget=&gccbuild_type=allwordssubstr&gccbuild=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=SUSPENDED&bug_status=WAITING&bug_status=REOPENED&priority=P1&priority=P2&priority=P3&emailtype1=substring&email1=&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0=

I have not yet triaged the many P3 bugs, so I expect that some of
these will be downgraded.  An interesting fact is that now about half
of the 34 P1s re 4.3-only regressions.  So, we have been introducing
some new and exciting bugs, and we need to fix those.  Do we need
another 1-week stabilization period?
