In the last few days, many of the key obstacles to a 4.1 release were removed, including, but not limited to:
1) The -mlong-double-128 patches have gone in. 2) Jason fixed some RVO issues. 3) Michael fixed the zero-width bitfield vs. #pragma pack issue. Unfortunately, there are still two PRs for regressions that I think merit P1: PR26258: wrong code caused by incorrect alias analyis. PR26209: an ICE-on-valid for simple C++ code, from Boost, using a pointer-to-member. We could argue about PR26209, but I thin PR26258 is too embarrassing to have in a release. Fortunately, a patch has been posted for PR26258, and Richard G. claims to have a patch for PR26209. It's certainly time to get GCC 4.1 out the door. Therefore, at 12:01 AM GMT-8 on Wednesday, February 15th, the 4.1 branch will be frozen. All non-documentation patches after that point will require my explicit approval; please attach patches to PRs, and Cc: to me. Hopefully, the two P1s will be fixed tomorrow, and I can make a release candidate as early as Wednesday evening. Thanks, -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery [EMAIL PROTECTED] (650) 331-3385 x713
