GCC-3.3.3 release status (2003-12-08)

[Gabriel Dos Reis <gdr@integrable-solutions.net>]

Hi,

  The number of regressions targetted for gcc-3_3-branch is 66.  That
number was 68 last week.  That appears to be a very slow progress; but
the fact is that it does not capture the reality.  Actually, in the
past few days the back-end and middle-end people have been very active
in tracking and fixing at least 13 PRs on the branch (some bug fixes
don't have PR number so I may have missed some).  Special thanks
to Roger Sayle, Eric Botcazou, Andrew Pinski and the "bug masters".
The C++ front-end is the winner of the competition 'who has the
highest number of regressions' :-(  It seems to have received no much
attention (one regression fix). 

  I'm still accepting non-regression bug fixes till December 31, but
as we're approaching that date, I'll be more and more stringent.  The
idea is that I would not like to see many last minutes patches proposed
for checking on December 31.

  Here is a detailed list of existing regressions as targetted for
gcc-3_3-branch. Where I listed individuals, that means bugzilla says
they are assigned the corresponding PR.
