RE: Does Linaro GCC 5.4 fully support ARMv8.2-A
Thanks for the information, it's very useful. Is there any mail list I can register myself to receive future update about toolchain? -Original Message- From: Christophe Lyon [mailto:christophe.l...@linaro.org] Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2017 1:47 AM To: Vincent Chen Cc: linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org Subject: Re: Does Linaro GCC 5.4 fully support ARMv8.2-A We track FSF branches as follows: when a new release branch 'N' is available, we switch our active releases to it. Branch N-1 goes to maintenance mode, and branch N-2 goes to best-effort/as-needed until the branch is closed on the FSF side. As of today, this means that: - gcc-linaro-7 is our active release branch. We provide quarterly binary releases, and monthly source snapshots. We do monthly branch-merges and backport interesting patches from trunk. - gcc-linaro-6 is in maintenance mode. We provide quarterly binary releases and monthly source snapshots. We do monthly branch-merges. - gcc-linaro-5 is in "as-needed" mode. We provide binary releases when needed. In practice, we are in the process of creating our final gcc-linaro-5, since the FSF gcc-5 branch was closed recently with the gcc-5.5 release. All this will shift when the FSF releases gcc-8 (probably in April or May 2018), which probably means we'll have our final gcc-linaro-6 release in about a year from now. However we are currently modifying our release process, so don't take this for granted. Christophe On 18 October 2017 at 20:34, Vincent Chen wrote: > Thanks Christophe.
