This year we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the first GCC beta release and this month we will celebrate 30 years since the GCC 1.0 release. GCC 7.1 is a major release containing substantial new functionality not available in GCC 6.x or previous GCC releases. The C++ frontend now has experimental support for all of the current C++17 draft, with the -std=c++1z and -std=gnu++1z options, and the libstdc++ library has most of the C++17 draft library features implemented too. This releases features various improvements in the emitted diagnostics, including improved locations, location ranges, suggestions for misspelled identifiers, option names, fix-it hints and various new warnings have been added. The optimizers have been improved, with improvements appearing in all of intra- and inter-procedural optimizations, link time optimizations and various target backends, including, but not limited to, additions of store merging pass, code hoisting optimization, loop splitting, and shrink wrapping improvements. The Address Sanitizer can now report uses of variables after leaving their scope. GCC now can be configured for OpenMP 4.5 offloading to NVidia PTX GPGPUs. Some code that compiled successfully with older GCC versions might require some code adjustments, see http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-7/porting_to.html for details. See https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-7/changes.html for more information about changes in GCC 7.1. This release is available from the FTP servers listed here: http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html The release is in gcc/gcc-7.1.0/ subdirectory. If you encounter difficulties using GCC 7.1, please do not contact me directly. Instead, please visit http://gcc.gnu.org for information about getting help. Driving a leading free software project such as GNU Compiler Collection would not be possible without support from its many contributors. Not to only mention its developers but especially its regular testers and users which contribute to its high quality. The list of individuals is too large to thank individually! Please consider a donation to the GNU Toolchain Fund to support the continued development of GCC!
