GCC 4.2.2 Status Report

- Subject: GCC 4.2.2 Status Report
Summary
=======
The GCC 4.2.1 release was July 18, so our target for a 4.2.2 release is
September 18th. I plan to build RC1 this Sunday, September 9. If all
goes well, we'll have 4.2.2 out around the 18th; if not, we'll delay a
bit from there.
One critical issue: has GCC 4.2.x been fully converted to GPLv3, at this
point? If not, we'll have to wait until that is done before we can
release, per the FSF's instructions.
Quality
=======
Here are the open regressions:
Priority #
-------- ---
P1 26
P2 108
P3 3
Total 137
Many of the P1s are ICEs, so at least users know the compiler is broken...
We still have the nasty aliasing problems:
PR32182 [4.2 Regression] -fstrict-aliasing optimizations cause co...
PR32328 [4.2 Regression] -fstrict-aliasing causes skipped code
and various other such problems. We also have:
PR32327 [4.2 Regression] Incorrect stack sharing causing removal ...
though Diego's last comment seems to indicate that's something of a
could-happen bug at the moment.
In short, I don't see anything here that would prevent a release,
though, of course, I'd certainly be happier to get the number of
regressions (and, particularly, P1 regressions) down.
