From: "redi at gcc dot gnu.org" <gcc-bugzilla@gcc.gnu.org> To: gcc-bugs@gcc.gnu.org Subject: [Bug libstdc++/103904] [defect fix] Please backport P2325R3 to 10 and 11 Date: Tue, 04 Jan 2022 16:13:44 +0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <bug-103904-4-ZADwu5qmkh@http.gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/> (raw) In-Reply-To: <bug-103904-4@http.gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=103904 --- Comment #5 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The issue is whether somebody's code breaks when upgrading from GCC 11.2 to 11.3, or when upgrading from 11.x to 12.x, and the documented policy says the former should be avoided. https://gcc.gnu.org/develop.html#release says -->8-- Changes Appropriate for Bug-Fix Releases As a general rule of thumb, bug-fix releases should contain fixes for regressions or serious bugs uncovered in the corresponding major release of GCC or those prior to it. When backporting patches from subsequent releases or from trunk, care should be taken to avoid making changes that cause previously accepted code to be rejected unless doing so would cause GCC to generate incorrect object code or code with undefined behavior. Rationale Users have an expectation of upgrading to a bug-fix GCC release without having to adjust their source code. Avoiding changes that reject code that was previously accepted makes this possible. -->8-- The only reason to consider breaking the policy is that C++20 support is explicitly experimental, so breaking changes are more acceptable.
