From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jeffrey A Law To: egcs-announce@cygnus.com, gnu-gcc-announce@prep.ai.mit.edu, compilers@iecc.com Cc: egcs@cygnus.com, gcc2@cygnus.com Subject: egcs-1.0.1 release Date: Thu, 04 Dec 1997 14:03:00 -0000 Message-id: <19161.884115021@hurl.cygnus.com> X-SW-Source: 1997-1998-old/msg00003.html January 6, 1998 We are pleased to announce the release of egcs-1.0.1. egcs is a collaborative effort involving several groups of hackers using an open development model to accelerate development and testing of GNU compilers and runtime libraries. egcs-1.0.1 is a minor update to the egcs-1.0 compiler to fix a few critical bugs and add support for Red Hat 5.0 Linux. Changes since the egcs-1.0 release: * Add support for Red Hat 5.0 Linux and better support for Linux systems using glibc2. * Compatability with both egcs-1.0 and gcc-2.8 libgcc exception handling interfaces (see below for further discussion). * Various bugfixes in the x86, hppa, mips, and rs6000/ppc backends. * A few machine independent bugfixes, mostly to fix code generation bugs when building Linux kernels or glibc. * Fix a few critical exception handling and template bugs in the C++ compiler. * Fix Fortran namelist bug on alphas. * Fix build problems on x86-solaris systems. To avoid future compatibility problems, we strongly urge anyone who is planning on distributing shared libraries that contain C++ code to upgrade to egcs-1.0.1 first (see http://www.cygnus.com/egcs/egcs-1.0.1.html for details about the compatability issues as well as additional information about the bugfixes since the egcs-1.0 release). egcs contains many improvements and features not found in gcc-2.7 and even the soon to be released gcc-2.8 compilers. * Integrated C++ runtime libraries, including support for most major linux systems! * The integrated libstdc++ library includes a verbatim copy of SGI's STL release. * Integrated GNU Fortran compiler * New instruction scheduler * New alias analysis code See the egcs web page for a more complete list of new features, installation instructions, build/test status, caveats, mailing lists, etc. http://www.cygnus.com/egcs You can ftp egcs-1.0.1 either as a full release, or as diffs from the egcs-1.0 release from the following sites: Master site: US (California) ftp.cygnus.com:/pub/egcs Alternate site: US (Massachusetts) cambridge.cygnus.com:/pub/egcs Direct Mirrors: US (east coast) ftp.goof.com:/pub/pcg/egcs US (Arizona) ftp.ninemoons.com:/pub/egcs US (California) ftp.yggdrasil.com:/mirrors/site/ftp.cygnus.com/pub/egcs UK sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk:/packages/gnu/cygnus/egcs Austria gd.tuwien.ac.at:/gnu/egcs France ftp.ilog.fr:/pub/Mirrors/egcs France ftp.lip6.fr:/pub/egcs Czech Republic sunsite.mff.cuni.cz:/GNU/cygnus/egcs Denmark sunsite.auc.dk:/pub/egcs Germany (Berlin) ftp.fu-berlin.de:/unix/languages/egcs Germany ftp.gwdg.de:/pub/cygnus/egcs Poland (Warsaw) sunsite.icm.edu.pl:/pub/programming/egcs Sweden ftp.sunet.se:/pub/gnu/egcs Sites which mirror indirectly via ftp.goof.com: Japan ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp:/pub/lang/C/pcg/egcs France ftp.maisel.int-evry.fr:/pub/linux/pentium/egcs
