Fwd: GCC 4.6.0 Status Report (2010-10-27)

[Tobias Burnus]

For your interest. Jakub's RM mail is below (stage 1 ends end of 
October), some but first some gfortran comments.

  * * *

Gfortran has the following regressions:
PR 44945: [4.6] -fwhole-file left over: unshared decl causes wrong code
PR 45794: [4.6] Segfault with MAXLOC
PR 42954: [4.5/4.6] Host CPP not set (due to switch to libcpp)
PR 45081: [4.3/4.4] Backporting to be done (or close?)

  * * *

I see the following larger patches which are in progress and partially 
posted. Given that they have been posted before, they do not need to 
strictly follow the Stage 1 ending; however, they should go in the 
nearer future, if possible.

(1) FX: CPP target patch; requires global reviewer. Review pending, but 
several review comments (also privately), i.e. an updated patch could be 
posted.
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2010-10/threads.html#00566

(2) FX: Inclusion of libquad as separate library (LGPL) plus changes to 
the front end and the middle end; needs some configure magic plus a 
COPYRIGHT file.
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2010-09/msg00284.html

(3) Steve/Tobias: Parsing patch for deferred type parameter (allocatable 
string lengths)
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2010-10/msg00222.html
(The clean up part of the patch has been obsoleted by Steve's patch in 
PR 46152.)

(4) Paul: Reallocate on assignment
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2010-10/msg00213.html

(5) Tobias: derived-type constructor
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2010-10/msg00254.html

Status
======

We've decided to postpone end of stage1 until end of October, instead
of at the end of GCC Summit, so those that have stage1 changes can have
a couple of extra days, they don't have to submit everything in the next few
hours.

Nevertheless, please start (or keep on) bugfixing, because the amount of
bugs, especially important regressions since 4.5, is very high.
