- Subject: Go in gcc 4.7
The Go language is closing in what we are calling Go version 1. This
will be a long-term stable release of Go, with no language or library
API changes. Go 1 is described here:
https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/document/pub?id=1ny8uI-_BHrDCZv_zNBSthNKAMX_fR_0dc6epA6lztRE
The expected completion date is late February.
My goal with gccgo is to include a complete Go 1 implementation with the
gcc 4.7 release. Therefore, I plan to continue to patch the code in
gcc/go and libgo. There shouldn't be any major changes, but there will
be various minor ones. Since this code is only built optionally, it
should not affect the rest of the release process.
Please let me know about any objections or concerns.
Ian
