[Mingw-w64-public] Status of mingw-builds?

2016-07-04 Thread mity
Hello, for years, I've used mingw-builds ([1], [2]) happily as a default gcc toolchain of my choice on Windows hosts. However I can see there are no new builds for many months although there were some gcc releases (6.1, 5.4) in the mean time. That makes me wondering about its current status.

Maybe we misunderstand each other? I understood your question as a proposal to make -D_WIN32_WINNT=xy imply also implicitly some --enable-threads=xy. That would be a problem, because semantics of -D_WIN32_WINNT=xy should imho have no implication on chosen run time, but just on what's made availab

[Mingw-w64-public] gcc sanitizers

Hi, I tried to use gcc 4.9.0 with -fsanitize=address or -fsantize=undefined. However linker then failed, as the options imply -lasan or -lubsan respectivelly. Are these supposed to work in mingw-w64? If not, then perhaps the options should fail early and tell they are not supported rather then le

[Mingw-w64-public] LTO status?

2014-06-25 Thread mity
Hello, when I tried LTO (link time optiomization) the last time (gcc 4.8 or 4.7, I do not remember precisely), it did not work much for me (frequent crashes during my project build with LTO enabled). I know gcc dev team spent a lot of time on improving LTO in 4.9. So, what is LTO status in ming

I believe it is possible, but you have to explicitly tell it with the gcc option -municode. Martin > I am not sure what is the status now, but couple of years ago, GCC could > not compile programs with UNICODE version of WinMain. If it still > persist, you will need to declare the entry point as

Hi. I'm using the Coverity scan [1] for static source analyzes for mCtrl project [2] on a regular basis before each release. I've recently got some false positives resulting from each usage of the macro InlineIsEqualGUID from mingw-w64 system headers. It actually results in reports similar to th

Hi Ruben, thanks for the work. Just one point annoys me a bit: The Windows packages targeting win32 and win64 respectively differ in prefixes of binutils, e.g.: mingw32/bin/windres.exe vs. mingw64/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-windres.exe. This complicates things for those who (like me) need/want to u

Hi all, although I appreciate the hard work on the mingw-w64 project, I must agree here with the voices calling for more transparent release policies. Now it's really a pain. I think mingw-w64 forum and mailing lists already presented a frustration of community about this. Consider for example t
