Subject: C2x features status
Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2022 17:30:50 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.22.394.2210201716000.71947@digraph.polyomino.org.uk> (raw)

I'm working on adding various C2x features to the C front end (and 
elsewhere in GCC as applicable).

I suspect I won't get all the C2x features done for GCC 13.  If anyone 
else is interested in adding C2x features, I'd encourage looking at some 
of the following, which I may well not get to for GCC 13 (and posting here 
to avoid duplication of effort if working on such a feature):

* Bit-precise integer types (_BitInt) (see bug 102989) (integrated version 
based on N2763, plus literal suffixes from N2775 and bit-fields from 
N2969).  Would require working with back-end maintainers and upstream ABI 
groups, where available, to get ABIs defined for as many architectures as 
possible, as well as some default ABI choice in GCC for architectures that 
haven't defined the ABI for these types.

* [[unsequenced]] and [[reproducible]] attributes for function types.  See 
N2956.  These are supposed to be similar to const and pure attributes, at 
least in the absence of pointer and array function parameters (but note 
they never affect type compatibility).

* Tag compatibility (N3037, alternative wording).  Martin Uecker might 
have patches for a draft version of this?

* Preprocessor #embed (N3017) (see bug 105863).
