Fwd: GCC 4.7.0 Status Report (2011-10-11)

[Tobias Burnus]

For your interest.

General GCC status: See below. But first a short gfortran 4.7 status report:

* 8 regressions:
PR50690 [4.7] ICE with front-end optimization and OpenMP
	- Thomas has a patch
PR50570 [4.6/4.7] Pointer intent: Rejects valid
	- Assigned to Janus, draft patch exists
PR50410	[4.6/4.7] ICE with invalid DATA init
PR50659 [4.4--4.7] ICE with valid PROCEDURE statement
	- Fixed for 4.7, backporting pending
PR47023 [4.6/4.7] C_SIZEOF - Rejects valid arg
PR50105 [4.6/4.7] Wrong number of "*" with I/O
	- One probably should request an interpretation request
	- Old behaviour probably correct
	- (slightly) more compiler show current result
PR49791 [4.4--4.7] Extended namelist read fails
	- Remains: Special case of a vendor extension
PR42954 [4.5/4.6/4.7] CPP target macros

* Pending "larger" code changes:
- Constructor patch: Should be committed soon to allow time for finding 
regressions. Draft patch (~10 unique regression failures) and status:
https://userpage.physik.fu-berlin.de/~tburnus/tmp/constructor.diff
- Paul's polymorphic arrays patch

Status
======

Trunk remains in Stage 1 and based on the 4.6 release schedule this
should end around the end of October unless a small delay is useful to
help merge any development branches.  Of the branches mentioned in the
last status report, it appears that only transactional-memory and
cxx-mem-model are aiming for at least partial merging for 4.7
(although not all branches had answers to the questions in that
report).  The recent proposal for adding the D front end is also
clearly a 4.8 matter, not 4.7, unless the patches outside the
D-specific directories are ready very soon.
