(Fortran) Coarrays in GCC - library/build questions, RFC & announcement

Hello all, I have a library-usage question to the SC, a (wrapping) library building/shipping question to GCC@ readers, and, of course, I also want to announce the project a bit wider and seek for comments. * * * Coarrays are an extension of Fortran, which date back to the 1990s but have now be

This is normal unix behavior (unless you have some kind of shell that I'm unfamiliar with.) When you use & to create a subjob, it is still attached to your terminal session. Take a look at the at(1) or batch(1) commands if you really want to execute a command and logout while it's still runnin

Question about perl while bootstrapping gcc

Hi! I use to build gcc with a command line such as make -j2 >& somelogfile & I recently found that if I logout, the build fails with perl: no user 501 Is this a bug or a feature? In the former case I'll open a PR. In the later is it documented somewhere that you should not logout while buildin

LIM/Alias Analysis performance issue

2010-04-16 Thread Lu, John
Hi, I've encountered a performance issue in a port of GCC I'm working on, where the behavior of LIM is affected by the ordering of fields in a structure. I've been able to re-create it with a GCC 4.3.1 Linux X86 compiler. With GCC 4.3.1 Linux X86, when I compile: struct foo { int *p

Dear Manuel, Thank you very much for your answers! This is what I believe researchers who are trying to select a compiler for their work would like to know/hear. I think, the main problem for students and researchers is that they see lots of stuff going on with GCC and on mailing lists but they
