--- Comment #6 from Haoxin Tu <haoxintu at gmail dot com> --- (In reply to Jonathan Wakely from comment #5) > What practical impact does this have on any real world code? > Why should we spend time on that, rather than the million other things we > have to fix? Hi, Jonathan, This is the question I am always thinking about. GCC is a big software somehow, and that's impossible to treat every part equally when it has issues. > Obviously in an ideal world GCC would be perfect, but the majority of your > bug reports are asking for time to be spent on things that just don't matter. My team nowadays are focusing on improving the quality of mature compilers. We just developed a tool to test them and then found those bugs. Our method might not perfect now and it only found some issues in FE, and we are designing a more effective approach to focus on the ME or BE parts (those parts might more important for GCC), it still needs some time for us. So I totally agree with that you said, and maybe later reports will be more useful for you. > If you really want it fixed, you can always do it yourself: > https://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html This is a really constructive suggestion for me. I will try to do this at some time. Anyway, thanks for your kind and helpful response!
