Because the full patch set has not been reviewed .... Parts of it was reviewed back and parts in the last few weeks :). > What is the correct way to proceed when (re)using this patch for submission? > Is that possible at all? I was in the process of resubmitting that patch set. In fact I was able to commit patches 1, 2 and 4 already. patch 3 was resubmitted 5 days ago: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2016-10/msg01855.html I hope someone will approve it and then I will resubmit the last patch which adds the variant portion. The patch set does not apply directly any more as one variable name has changed. Thanks, Andrew > > Thank you and best regards, > Benedikt >
