I'll see my work in GCC11 through (there's one remaining patch review
to
address this week); I don't like leaving things in a half assed state
if
I can avoid it. The work to finish out C++20 library support features
which passed through the Concurrency and Parallelism study group
(SG-1)
in WG21 on their way to being standardized will be, for now, done in a
public repo with GPL license sans-FSF assignment. Other work which I
have initiated to replace the dependency on Thread Building Blocks
within the Parallel STL algorithms (PSTL); something required for this
part of libstdc++ to no longer be marked 'experimental' will not be
done
with a GPL license and will not, as a result, be assigned to the FSF.
Using a GPL and assigning copyright are two different things though.
Uhm, well, Duh? I guess...not sure what your point is, but mine is - I'm
only
going to do one of those things for the time being for libstdc++ work,
and do
precisely neither of those things on the runtime component I expect to
eventually
replace TBB with in the PSTL.
It is my hope, and expectation, that that work will become part of
GCC12
and GCC13 respectively, and I will know in the fullness of time if
that
expectation is to be met.
