A year has lapsed away since the release of last major GCC release, more than 33 years passed since the first public GCC release and the GCC developers survived repository conversion from SVN to GIT earlier this year.
Today, we are glad to announce another major GCC release, 10.1. This release makes great progress in the C++20 language support, both on the compiler and library sides [1], some C2X enhancements, various optimization enhancements and bug fixes, several new hardware enablement changes and enhancements to the compiler back-ends and many other changes. There is even a new experimental static analysis pass [2]. Some code that compiled successfully with older GCC versions might require source changes, see http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-10/porting_to.html for details. See https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-10/changes.html for more information about changes in GCC 10.1. This release is available from the FTP servers listed here: http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html The release is in gcc/gcc-10.1.0/ subdirectory. If you encounter difficulties using GCC 10.1, please do not contact me directly. Instead, please visit http://gcc.gnu.org for information about getting help. Driving a leading free software project such as GNU Compiler Collection would not be possible without support from its many contributors. Not to only mention its developers but especially its regular testers and users which contribute to its high quality. The list of individuals is too large to thank individually! Please consider a donation to the GNU Toolchain Fund to support the continued development of GCC!
