PR3665 and KDE2

[Mark Mitchell]

Franz --

You asked whether GCC 3.0.2 will work with KDE2.  The answer is no; we'll
just keep iterating until we get a release that does.  It's too bad that
this is still broken.  If you can send me a small test case, I'll try to
work on it for GCC 3.0.3.

You also asked about PR3665, which is a GCC 2.95.x regression.  No, I
don't think we should try to fix this for 3.0.2 at this point.  It was
already broken in GCC 3.0.  However, we should try to prepare a patch
for GCC 3.0.3.  If you are willing to do so, I will review the patch
at that time.

Thank you,

Oops, I forgot to mention that this is PR3909, testcase included in there. 
It's a pity this can't be solved in 3.0.2, it seemed to me that Nathan was 
nearly there already with 3.0.1.

OK, I tried a few variations, but I probably misunderstood Jan's comment. 
I'll contact him to solve this in 3.0.3.

Thanks,

Yes, well what looked like a little thread to tease out turned out to pull
a large amount of stuff with it. I've got a patch against 3.1 of a few
months ago, but it is (a) too large & complex for a dot release, (b)
untested against KDE. The good news is that (a) it did fix the remaining
3145 & 3909 failures, (b) it's related to /using/ the vbase offsets,
rather than creating them.

It kind of dropped off my radar. When I built KDE, I ran into some other
problems (4206) & I wasn't really sure what failures I was looking for. My
plan is to verify it works for KDE and then incrementally install it into 3.1

Well, is it possible to port the patch to 3.0.x for testing even if it 
doesn't make it into the 3.0.x series? I don't have the resources to switch 
my whole system to 3.1 in the near future :-(.

The KDE problem is easy to recognize, if you have sound working, it's OK 
(at least better than now), otherwise there are still problems. Or, if you 
don't want to run all of KDE (actually you only need kdelibs and kdebase) 
for testing, just start 'artsd' and then use 'artscat' and 'artsplay' (see 
http://space.twc.de/~stefan/kde/arts-mcop-doc/artsbuilder/ for documentation).
