GCC-3.3.5 release status

GCC-3.3.5 release status

[Gabriel Dos Reis]

Hi,

  GCC-3.3.5 is going to be packaged on September 30, 2004 (i.e. in two
days).  Starting from now, the branch gcc-3_3-branch is frozen untill
I say otherwise.  

  After GCC-3.3.5, there will be GCC-3.3.6 on December 31, 2004.  That
will be the last release from the 3.3.x series.

Thanks,

-- Gaby

GCC-3.3.5 release status

[Gabriel Dos Reis]

Hi,

   I recall that the release date for GCC-3.3.5 is September 30, 2004.

There are currently 24 bugs open for 3.3.5.  Out of them, 6 have
critical priority but most are regressions since 3.3.1 or before. 

  rtl-optimization/12419 is assigned to Jakub, but no much activity
      has been observed since April 2004.

  target/14484, a regression since 3.1.  At this point, it is ever
      going to be fixed for 3.3.x, so it might well be closed unless
      MIPS maintainers want to look into it.

  c++/14507, a regression since 3.0.1.

  rtl-optimization/15853, a regression since 3.3.3

  rtl-optimization/16586, a regression since 3.1 also present in 3.4.x

  rtl-optimization/17363

None of the above, probably except rtl-optimization/17363, is a
showtopper for GCC-3.3.5.  I will make a prerelease sometime today.

The following bugs have been fixed in GCC-3.3.5 (those are the bugs
for which I have a PR number in the ChangeLogs; if I miss any, please
let me know).

     bootstrap/15120

     c/15549

     c++/11946
     c++/16175

     libgcj/12475

     libgfortran/15930

     libstdc++/11352

     middle-end/15930
     middle-end/16038
     rtl-optimization/14700
     rtl-optimization/14782

     target/12602
     target/13250
     target/13926
     target/15186
     target/15202
     target/15647
     target/15718
     target/16459
     target/16494
     target/16559

Bug target/15718 affected certain programs that implied complex numbers
in registers on the alpha target, and was seen as a weakness in
GCC-3.3.4. 

      
Thanks,
