libgccjit maintenance status

libgccjit maintenance status

[Andrea Corallo]

Hi all,

I'd like to ask about the maintenance status of libgccjit.

Personally (in my spare time) I'd like to contribute more to it but I
feel the development is a little stuck and patches don't get
reviewed[1].  More widely speaking we have a feature branch under active
development in emacs.git that relies on libgccjit therefore its
maintenance status is a fundamental information to have.

Alternatively what can I do to help speed up the review of these
patches?

Thanks and Regards

  Andrea

I'm the maintainer.  GCC 10 is currently in stage 4 so making changes
may require release-manager signoff.

Sorry about that.  I know I lost some email at the end of last year,
and I've been very busy working on the static analyzer [2].

Please ping the list weekly if I'm not getting around to reviewing
patches.

I'll take a look at these today.

Sorry about the delay
