[ACTIVITY] December 13th-January 4th

== Linaro GCC ==

 * Continued looking at element/structure load/store intrinsics
improvements. Some good initial results: it looks like the plan of
using "extra-wide" vectors for returning struct results works fine (at
least to a first approximation). Sent off WIP patch (internally to CS
only, so far).

   Incidentally this looks like it'll be a good stepping-stone for the
"RTL half" (vs. the "tree half") of the representation of
element/structure loads/stores (e.g. vld2/vst2) also. The return type
(for loads) and argument type (for stores) of the RTL patterns for such
instructions is changed from the current wide-integer representation
(OImode, etc.) to a suitable wide vector instead (e.g. V16QImode). This
change might help lead to a more meaningful mapping from an equivalent
tree form -- though we haven't quite got the whole picture yet, as the
middle-end won't want to know about the ARM-specific and
non-standard-named patterns for the element/structure loads/stores.
(One might imagine a new standard-named RTL expander taking care of that
though.)

== Vacation ==

 * Vacation Dec 20th-Jan 4th.

2011-01-04 Thread Zach Welch
== Last Week ==

* Got a new ARM-specific unwind test case working, so its integration
with libunwind stands a marginally better chance of working (once it's
finally finished).

* Sent a ping to binutils mailing list about a patch to improve readelf
that I had sent in at the beginning of December. Still no response.

* Holidays and Vacation

== This Week ==

* Try to finish libunwind integration, as my time with Linaro is nearly
over. Update documentation on wiki to reflect current status.

* Ping ltrace list about a new release. It seemed so close, then the
list went abruptly silent.

I build trunk once a week as part of the automated builds.  How about
I send you an email with the corresponding SVN revision on every
successful build?
