Hello all,
During Chris Alberts campaign going through all the gfortran know regressions he
noted a large number that have been fixed and never backported. These simpley
hang out there to bug and distract us and nothing every gets done.
Most of these are either openmp or oacc bugs. Myself I see no point in back
porting these. Others think we should backport. My goal is zero regressions.
If the consensus is to backport these, then my first response is the initial
patch committer should have done it by now. Some of these are many years old.
I will backport these and test, but I do not do the usual other libgomp tests
that are run by others, so I hesitate for fear of breaking something since some
of the patches are ancient.
The question is backport and close or just close them? If backport, how far back
is worth going, obviously 13 is as far back as we can go? (Since no one has
whined about these regressions for so long my impression is they are irrelevant)
Regards,
Jerry, master janitor extraordinaire.
