Last month I sent a list of bugreports that were 4.7 regressions, but had patches which fixed them for 4.8. It looks like ~7 of these had been backported and 10 more bugreports now exist with potential for backporting as well.
Here are my rough notes: backported: 44061 - diagnostic 54767 - wrong-code 55043 - rejects-valid 55107 - compile-time-hog 55660 - [lto] ice-on-invalid 55890 - ice-on-invalid 53844 - missed-optimization (fixed back in July and waiting to see if any fallout?) - looks like it was backported, but then reverted? some discussion on... 54073 - missed-optimization 'not planning to backport it right now.' update: "I have moved this discussion to PR56309. Let's keep this PR open for eventual backport of the patch in Comment #13 to 4.7 branch." Not much activity on the remaining: 35634 - bad-code, however 'Unlikely going to be backported.' 43961 - [arm] target 48189 - ice-on-valid 48766 - ice-on-valid 51447 - wrong-code, however 'Could be back-ported, but IMHO this issue is not important enough for that so I'm not going to work on back-ports.' 53636 - wrong-code 53676 - missed-optimization (discussion about 4.7 backport after some more 4.8 exposure since August) 54051 - [arm] wrong-code? 54295 - wrong-code 54563 - ice-on-valid - already backported? *** 54919 - wrong-code, however 'no plans to work on back-ports of my patch for the release branches' 54974 - [arm] wrong-code (last comment was asking about 4.7 backport) 55018 - wrong-code 55614 - alignment issue/tree-optimization 55964 - ice New bug reports with potential backports: 56077 - wrong-code "Fixed on trunk, needs to be ported to 4.6/4.7 mid-Match." 56403 - ice-on-valid "The fix seems extremely safe, so I think backporting to 4.6 and 4.7 makes sense." 56470 - ice-on-valid "Fixed on trunk. Testing back-port to 4.7." 56608 - wrong-code - fixed on trunk 2013-03-13 56539 - wrong-code/ice-on-valid - fixed on trunk 2013-03-06 "The patch fixes the problem for both 4.7 and 4.8" 56270 - ice-on-valid - fixed on trunk 2013-03-05 56175 - missed-optimization - fixed on trunk 2013-02-25 new potential backports: 52448 - wrong-code - fixed on trunk 2013-02-08 48133 - ice-on-valid - fixed on trunk, but not clear where 45472 - ice (on-valid?) - fixed on trunk 2013-02-27 Hope this is useful. thanks, -Kenny
