GCC 4.3 Stage 1 is now closed.
After this point, major new functionality (i.e., the sort of thing
deserving its own branch) that has not already been submitted will be
held for GCC 4.4.
Hopefully, the PTR_PLUS branch and the fixed-point branch will be merged
in the relatively near future. I am also considering the Intel BID
patches for 4.3, as those have arrived just under the wire. I would
appreciate comments from relevant maintainers about those patches.
As previously discussed, the mainline will be in "lockdown" for 1-2
weeks, starting midnight tonight. Other then the merges mentioned
above, and documentation improvements, the only patches that should be
committed during the lockdown are fixes for regressions.
We will then enter Stage 2. I expect to reenter the "lockdown" mode
every so often (perhaps one week a month) as we move through Stage 2 and
Stage 3, in the hopes of a shorter release process than we achieved for
4.2.0.

I checked in pointer_plus as revision 125755.

Who are those relevant maintainers? Since Intel BID patches only
affects DFP intrinsics, which is only supported on Linux/PPC,
Linux/ia32 and Linux/x86-64 while Linux/PPC uses DPD encoding, not
BID encoding, I assume the relevant maintainers are maintainers for
DFP, libgcc and x86 backend.
BTW, an x86 DFP configure bug was reported 3 months ago. But it still
hasn't benen fixed. I opened a DFP bug report:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32351
with a patch. I hope it will be fixed before gcc 4.3 is released :-).
Thanks.

Sorry, I didn't spot this message until the period of ambiguity had
passed.
In the future, for avoidance of doubt, if I give a date but not a time,
interpret it most generously: so long as it is still that date somewhere
on earth, you can still do whatever it is that we're about to stop
doing. :-)

Good. I have another question. Intel BID patch itself doesn't change
any sources in DFP nor libdecnummber. The only significant change is
to change Makefile in libgcc to use Intel BID library for DFP
intrinsics when BID encoding is selected. Currently, DFP is only
supported on Linux/PPC, which uses DPD encoding, and Linux/x86, which
uses BID encoding. So Intel BID patch only affects Linux/x86 as
it changes libgcc/Makefile.in to use Intel BID library. Who has
the final say on this patch?

Sorry about the delay. Yes, I assure you it will be fixed by then and
perhaps by the end of this week .. :-)

The build system maintainers and the x86 maintainers.

Hi Ben,
Can you take a look at this patch:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-06/msg01052.html
I'd like to TFmode conversion supprot to DFP. Currently libdecnumber
doesn't support TFmode conversion. Intel BID library does. I need
this patch to enable TFmode conversion. It has no impact on DFP
runtime with libdecnumber.
Thanks.
H.J.
