Subject: Upstreaming OpenRISC with GCC mainline
Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2021 05:49:13 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAAfxs77MfWtYGYLgycvF0Utvq-rqbfaekCHAWL5R2bDLa3oKKQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

I currently am working through some of the final TODO items from
NewPorts[0] for upstreaming the OpenRISC GLIBC port I have been
working on.

 - make check - DONE 1 failure (tst-tzset fails to create 4GB file, my
tmp space is not big enough)
 - merged, split, cleaned up patches - DONE
 - build-many-glibcs.py - FAILS, GCC mainline warnings

Up until now I have been maintaining a patch[1] for fixing various GCC
mainline related issues to keep things moving forward.  However, the
patch does brute force tactical fixes to the warnings like setting 0
to variables when we have "maybe-uninitialized".   I was hoping by the
time I got to this point these things will be fixed.

The question now being, how should I go about upstreaming?  Should I
just backport my gcc patches to gcc-11 and move forward?  Or should I
work to fixup all of the GCC mainline issues the correct way?  I think
the second option may take quite some time though.
