I've reviewed the GCC 4.2 projects on the Wiki. It certainly looks like some exciting stuff is in the pipeline.
For 4.2, I'm not going to try to be too fine-grained about scheduling the individual projects; in 4.1, I don't think I added much value by doing that. Also, a lot of the project pages didn't have very precise data about availability. So, all I did here is separate them into Stage 1 and Stage 2 contributions. Even then, I don't want to forbid things listed under Stage 2 from going in under Stage 1, if the Stage 2 things are ready, but let's give priority to the Stage 1 things. I put things into Stage 1 that seemed either (a) most risky or (b) most ready. I'll readily concede that I may have miscategorized, and it's OK with me if people just treat the categorization as an informal guideline. Rather than try to make a fine-grained schedule, I'd like to ask that we just try to cooperate with each other to avoid destabilizing the mainline unduly, even through Stage 1. In particular: * Please announce major merges of new functionality 24 hours before the actual merge * Please allow 24 hours after a major merge before the next major merge * Please refrain from a major merge if we're currently experiencing serious stability problems that are being resolved from the previous merge. As of now, we're in GCC 4.2 Stage 1! == Stage 1 Projects * Decimal Floating Point * GOMP: library, middle-end, C * IPA cleanups * Load partial redundancy elimination * New tree reassociation pass * Remove old loop optimizer * Section Anchor Optimisations * Sign Extension Removal * Support for IA-64 speculation * Vectorization Enhancements, Part 1 Stage 2 Projects * Array references on pointers * GOMP: C++, Fortran * Induction variable optimizations cleanups * IPA on SSA Form * Omega data dependence test * Record GCC command line switches in object files * Replacements for CSE path following * Replace backend dataflow * Response files * Sub-Target specific math routines library * Vectorization Enhancements, Parts 2 and onwards. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery, LLC [EMAIL PROTECTED] (916) 791-8304
