GCC 4.6.2 Release Candidate available from gcc.gnu.org

GCC 4.6.2 Release Candidate available from gcc.gnu.org

The first release candidate for GCC 4.6.2 is available from

  ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/snapshots/4.6.2-RC-20111019

and shortly its mirrors.  It has been generated from SVN revision 180180.

I have so far bootstrapped and tested the release candidate on
x86_64-linux and i686-linux.  Please test it and report any issues to
bugzilla.

If all goes well, I'd like to release 4.6.2 in the middle of the next week.

will there be another release candidate early next week?

Is there a chance that these ARM regressions get fixed in this release?

  (A) http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49641
  (B) http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50106
  (C) http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38644

(A) is discussed here:

http://old.nabble.com/-ARM--Fix-PR49641-td32016414.html

(B) should be fixed tomorrow according to comment in PR.

(C) is still unclear although this PR is open since 2008.

In total this makes the GCC for the older ARM7TDMI-S and ARM926EJ-S (they are 
still in production) cores pretty dangerous.

Have a nice day!

If possible, not.

None of these is a very recent regression, all have been reported
more than 2 months ago and there has been little progress on them
(except for (C), where has been some progress, but not on the right solution),
so unlikely.
4.6.2 certainly isn't the last 4.6 release, 4.6.3 will follow in 3 months or
so.

I think after the 4.6.2 RC, gfortran' io changed something.
The 4.6.2 RC libgfortran section can't be built on mingw/mingw64.

It will cause:
  libtool: compile:  i686-w64-mingw32-gcc
-L/mingw/i686-w64-mingw32/lib -L/mingw/mingw/lib -isystem
/mingw/i686-w64-mingw32/include -isystem /mingw/mingw/include
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.././libgfortran
-iquote../.././libgfortran/io -I../.././libgfortran/../gcc
-I../.././libgfortran/../gcc/config
-I../.././libgfortran/../libquadmath -I../../host-i686-w64-mingw32/gcc
-D_GNU_SOURCE -std=gnu99 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wold-style-definition -Wextra -Wwrite-strings
-fcx-fortran-rules -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -g -pipe -O2
-I/mingw/include -MT file_pos.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/file_pos.Tpo -c
../.././libgfortran/io/file_pos.c -o file_pos.o
../.././libgfortran/io/file_pos.c: In function 'st_flush':
../.././libgfortran/io/file_pos.c:457:20: error: 'stream' has no
member named 'fd'

The latest 4.6 branch libgfortran has no problem.

I would hope you can fix the problem next RC or release.
