OK. Now that egcs-1.1.2 is done, we need to start discussing the major
stuff that needs to be resolved for egcs-1.2. My quick list:
1. lcm.c tied into gcse.c -- Done internally at Cygnus, just need
to push the remaining bits into egcs
2. fast-fixincludes -- basically needs testing and resolution of
any problems
3. aligned stack slots for x86 -- patch submitted, needs final
review & install.
4. EH vs unrolling problem -- patch submitted, needs final review
and install.
5. unrolling & splittable GIVs problems -- needs to be analyzed and
fixed.
6. Beat on the i18n support and make sure it's at least basically
working.
7. Various bugs effecting glibc, the linux kernel, mips large frames,
etc etc. Basically some major bug hunting sessions.
8. Do we actually have the gcc include path stuff resolved? Do we
want to suck in the code to allow the installed toolchain to move
around without the need for -B and/or GCC_EXEC_PREFIX?
9. masked bitfield comparison issues reported by Charles Hannum
10. Revamped cpp wrapper -- patch submitted. Needs review
11. Revamped install documentation (kill the various subdir install
stuff for a single install document for egcs). Basically step 1
of the long term doc reorganization.
12. New target issues (uwin, interix, hpux11, arm-vxworks, openbsd)
13. --program-prefix fixes?
14. SMP build fixes (particularly for chill & java)
15. Testsuite legal issues need to be resolved.
I'm sure there's more. I suspect once we've got a better list we'll have to
chop some stuff off to be able to make any kind of sane release schedule.
I've still got ~50 patches in my queue to review. Much of it backlog from
concentrating on egcs-1.1.2 and Cygnus deliverables.
I'd like to get at least one additional person more closely involved in the
release process. Someone to handle regression test coordination would be
good, as would someone to coordinate testing of major free software packages
would be a major win.
