Linaro bugzilla #3040 : CC1 and cc1plus cannot convert UTF-8. https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3040 * The Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.05 snapshot added support for -mpure-code option to ARMv7-M and ARMv8-M targets. This option ensures functions are put into sections that contain only code and no data. * The GDB version was upgraded from GDB 8.0. * Previous versions of the Linaro GCC 6 toolchain, when -static -E/—dynamic-list are passed to the linker, might create executables with dynamic sections which aren’t supported by run-time. This was exhibited in Perf Tools build system and has been fixed upstream and backported into Linaro Binutils 2.27 branch. Linaro bugzilla #2926 : Perf tools compiled statically for AArch64 with Linaro release 6.1 and later ones was not statically linked. https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2926 * The Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.03 snapshot fixed some ILP32 issues (TLS, exception handling, …) and these have been incorporated into this release. * Previous versions of the Linaro GCC 6 toolchain were incorrectly generating floating-point code for soft-float Linux targets (arm-linux-gnueabi, and armeb-linux-gnueabi). This escaped detection until recently because the soft-float targeted toolchains were configured to use general-purpose registers for passing floating-point values (which is what you would expect for soft-float toolchains) and the intra-routine floating-code was not noticed. The issue would only show up on targets that were run on hardware that truly didn't have floating-point hardware where the kernel did not trap and emulate floating-point routines. This has been solved in Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.02-rc2 by configuring the toolchain (using --with-float=soft) to generate code without any floating-point instructions at all (-mfloat-abi=soft). https://review.linaro.org/#/c/16968/2 This change should not break compatibility between existing binaries compiled with these toolchains since the float-point parameter passing ABI is still the same. * A bug/regression in the compiler has been identified whereby the target function that is invoked when calling a "weak" function directly is the "strong" override, whereas when calling the function via a pointer the "weak" implementation is used. This would be noticed as inconsistent funct
[ANNOUNCE] Linaro Binary Toolchain Release-Candidate GCC 7.2-2017.11-rc1
The Linaro Binary Toolchain The Linaro GCC 7.2-2017.11-rc1 Release-Candidate is now available. *Notice*: GCC 7.1 ABI change for arm*-*-* targets, and note for aarch64*-*-* targets From GCC 7.1 release notes: On ARM targets (arm*-*-*), a bug introduced in GCC 5 that affects conformance to the procedure call standard (AAPCS) has been fixed. The bug affects some C++ code where class objects are passed by value to functions and could result in incorrect or inconsistent code being generated. This is an ABI change. If the option -Wpsabi is enabled (on by default) the compiler will emit a diagnostic note for code that might be affected. https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77728 GCC 5 and GCC 6 releases will continue to be affected by the ABI bug, since changing ABI in these releases is not practical. A warning enabled by -Wpsabi option was added to GCC 5 and GCC 6 toolchains to diagnose codebases that might be affected by the ABI bug. Additionally, this same bug was present in AArch64 backend in development versions of GCC 7. There was no releases of GCC with this bug present in AArch64 backend, therefore the release notes does not mention this. However, be advised that any code bases built with development versions of GCC 7 need to be recompiled with released version of GCC 7 to conform to ABI.
