[ACTIVITY] 12 - 16 May 2014
== Progress == * Reload - IRA bug fix (5/10) - In thumb2 mode, we get a pattern "*ior_scc_scc" for the third argument expression by the combiner pass. - Expression Class:foo(x,0,((y==x)||(z==x))) x gets register r1 and second r2 . - The class object this pointer is passed in r0. r7 is used for stack pointer. - The pattern "*ior_scc_scc" demands more LO_REGISTERS. It needs 5 LO_registers for destination and 4 source operands. But we are left with r3,r4,r5,r6 only. - Such situation is handled for Thumb1 only using TARGET_CLASS_LIKELY_SPILLED_P. Thumb2 should accept HI registers also. - Changing the pattern to accept general registers for destination operation is also not helping. - Need to explore secondary reload macros. * Misc - AMD meetings and internal tasks (2/10) - 1-1 meetings (Ryan, Christophe and Maxim) (1/10) * Testing: Installed packages and ran GCC Linaro compiler 4.8 correctness tests on hardware. Completed running SPEC 2006 for -O3 -mcpu=cortex-a57 flag (2/10). == Plan == * Continue bug fixing. * LTO bootstrap failure * Testing GCC Linaro compiler on hardware. * New laptop install ubuntu, set up chroot and migrate to toolchain 64 environment. * UK VISA processing. ___ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain
[ANNOUNCE] Linaro GCC 4.9 2014.05 released
The Linaro Toolchain Working Group (TCWG) is pleased to announce the 2014.05 stable release of the Linaro GCC 4.9 source package. Linaro GCC 4.9 2014.05 is the second Linaro GCC source package release in the 4.9 series. It is based on FSF GCC 4.9.1+svn210052 and includes performance improvements and bug fixes. With the imminent release of ARMv8 hardware and the recent release of the GCC 4.9 compiler the Linaro TCWG will be focusing on stabilization and performance of the compiler as the FSF GCC compiler approaches version 4.9.1. The Linaro TCWG will provide monthly stable[1] source package releases until FSF GCC 4.9.1 is released. At that point Linaro GCC 4.9 will merge in FSF GCC 4.9.1 and, release Linaro GCC 4.9.1, and then return to a schedule of stable quarterly releases and monthly engineering[2] releases. Interesting changes in this GCC source package release include: * Updates to GCC 4.9.1+svn210052 * Backport of the Ada AArch64 support Feedback and Support Subscribe to the important Linaro mailing lists and join our IRC channels to stay on top of Linaro development. ** Linaro Toolchain Development "mailing list": http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain ** Linaro Toolchain IRC channel on irc.freenode.net at @#linaro-tcwg@ * Bug reports should be filed in Launchpad against "Linaro GCC project": http://bugs.launchpad.net/gcc-linaro/+filebug. * Questions? "ask Linaro": http://ask.linaro.org/. * Interested in commercial support? inquire at "Linaro support":mailto: supp...@linaro.org [1] Stable source package releases are defined as releases where the full Linaro Toolchain validation plan is executed. [2] Engineering source package releases are defined as releases where the compiler is only put through unit-testing and full validation is not performed. ___ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain
