[Danny, Richard G., please see below.] Thanks to all who have helped tested GCC 4.1.2 RC1 over the last week.
I've reviewed the list traffic and Bugzilla. Sadly, there are a fair number of bugs. Fortunately, most seem not to be new in 4.1.2, and therefore I don't consider them showstoppers. The following issues seem to be the 4.1.1 regressions: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GCC_4.1.2_Status PR 28743 is only an ICE-on-invalid, so I'm not terribly concerned. Daniel, 30088 is another aliasing problem. IIIRC, you've in the past said that these were (a) hard to fix, and (b) uncommon. Is this the same problem? If so, do you still feel that (b) is true? I'm suspicious, and I am afraid that we need to look for a conservative hack. Richard, 30370 has a patch, but David is concerned that we test it on older GNU/Linux distributions, and suggested SLES9. Would you be able to test that? Richard, 29487 is an issue raised on HP-UX 10.10, but I'm concerned that it may reflect a bad decision about optimization of C++ functions that don't throw exceptions. Would you please comment? I'm not sure yet as to whether we will do an RC2, or not; I will make that decision after getting the answers to the issues above.
