Switching to V3

Switching to V3

[Mark Mitchell]

I have completed testing on GNU/Linux and on IRIX.  The Solaris build
is still going -- it's a pretty slow SPARC that I'm playing with.  I
did a build a couple of days ago, so I don't expect real problems.

I haven't had a chance to work on the AIX issues yet.

I plan to go out for a few hours, come back, and check in the patch to
do the switch.  

Please continue to consider the tree slushy until that time.

Thanks,

I'm running a V3/IRIX bootstrap right now.  If I see the same problem,
I'll fix it.  Otherwise, we'll have to see what's different about your
IRIX box from the one I'm using.  (It's possible there are real
differences; "my" IRIX box is a 4000-node supercomputer with funky
hardware; it may well have slightly different headers or something.)

I also don't do --enable-pthreads; one step at a time.

I can't build V3 on irix6.5.  See

Switching to V3

[Mark Mitchell]

Folks --

  I am planning to make the switch to V3 today.

  To that end, I would like people to be very careful checking things
in today.  The tree is not frozen completely, but please do avoid any
major disturbances.

  Here is the procedure I am planning on doing:

  - Verify that V3 builds on IRIX 6.5, Solaris 2.8, and Red Hat 6.2.

  - Verify that make check-g++ produces similar (hopefully no 
    regressions) with and without V3.

  - Make changes as required to make these conditions true.

  - Investigate, and try to fix, template issues that David Edelsohn
    has brought to my attention that are causing troubles on AIX.

    This step is tricky because I do not have convenient access to an
    AIX box.

  At that point, we'll throw the switch.  I do not anticipate major
problems, but there may be some.  We will work those out in the coming
days -- this is necessary pain, and we cannot put it off forever.

  Thanks,
