GCC-3.4.5 Release status report

GCC-3.4.5 Release status report

[Gabriel Dos Reis]

Hi,

   I've triaged open bugs with GCC-3.4.5 as target.  At the moment,
we're left with 2 bugs I consider critical. We should try to fix them
before the release:

  middle-end/18956 [3.4 only] [hppa] 'bus error' at runtime while
                   passing a special struct to a C++ member function

  middle-end/24804 [3.4 Regression] Produces wrong code



There are other three bugs we should also attempt to fix for this
release:

  target/15231 [3.4 only] constant pool entries referring to
               nonexistent labels

  middle-end/24150 [3.4 only]: HOT_TEXT_SECTION_NAME doesn't have the
                   leading `.'
  
  c++/24199 [3.4 Regression] Segfault with -frepo -g


I'm planning a release for the end of the month.
I've fired the release script to build a pre-release tarball,
which should be ready any moment now.

Thanks,

-- Gaby

Thanks. Are there official plans for the 3.4 branch after this release?

Yes.  There will be 3.4.6 (sometime in 2006-02).  After that, it all
depends on people's needs.
