GCC 3.4 branch frozen

[Mark Mitchell]

Please treat the GCC 3.4 branch as completely frozen until further release.

I will be applying a few patches that have already been approved, and 
then creating a GCC 3.4.2 prerelease.

Thanks,

We have been discussing

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14925

There are no major objections. I'd like to see this ia64 specific bug
be fixed in 3.4.2. Can I apply my patches to mainline and 3.4 branch?

Thanks.

It is too late now for GCC 3.4.2.

I indicated before that if Jim Wilson or Richard Henderson approves this 
patch, it was OK.    You can put it in GCC 3.4.3 if it is approved by 
Jim or Richard.

Can I check it into mainline? Jim didn't object my patch for 3.4 in the
previous emails. I guess he is still catching up his email. The current
gcc may introduce an incompatible ABI on IPF and prevents the 3rd party
unwind library. I'd like to see it get fixed soon.

There's no rush to get things into mainline.  Please wait for an 
explicit OK from Jim or Richard.

GCC 3.4 branch frozen

[Mark Mitchell]

As of now, please consider the GCC 3.4 branch frozen.

I will be making a pass over the open PRs, and then, hopefully, spinning 
a release candidate tomorrow.

Re: GCC 3.4 Branch Frozen

I built gcc 3.4.0-20040416 on native hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.11
and observed that pr/14893 and pr/14905 have both been fixed.
I think 14893 has not been fixed in gcc HEAD though.

I bootstrap with gcc 3.3.2 rather than the native toolchain so I don't
have the issue with intl/plural.c that Joe Buck reported.

My two cents,

GCC 3.4 Branch Frozen

[Mark Mitchell]

The GCC 3.4 branch is completely frozen.

I plan to apply a couple of minor pathces myself and then spin the
release.  

Please make absolutely no check-ins to the 3.4 branch until further
notice.
