Real quick analysis of December's via "grep Subject" and wc:
Total: 1020
version.c Updates: 176
gnatvsn.ads Updates: 124
So 300 are based upon an automated daily update of the version string.
There are 500 unique subject lines in the December log. This is not
a 100% accurate reflection of unique modifications because the
subject lines are truncated at about 64 characters and many start
with the same string "Subject: gcc/gcc ChangeLog " so there isn't much
room for being unique based upon files in a change set.
This is 5 minutes of looking and my point is just to be careful
looking at these. I agree that there are probably a fair number of
changes but gcc is a LARGE body of source code so I would expect
changes. Besides the compiler, there are test suites, documentation,
run-time libraries, and build support tools that support a variety
of host and target environments.
The large number of host and target combinations means that it is
probably just a fact of life that what is an improvement to one
target has a probability to break something else.
