New submission from Jun Aruga <ha...@oh4u.net>:
This ticket is from below conversation on python-dev mailing list. https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2018-August/155011.html Right now the Python project Travis CI is running on gcc-4.8.4 for coverage testing. I want to replace it or add the latest version gcc-8 case. The benefit to use gcc-8 is, * It is important to run on the old version 4.8 but, it is also meaningful to follow the latest version and care issues such as warnings on the latest version gcc. * I am working in Fedora project that is using gcc version 8 as a main c compiler. If the Python project care gcc-8, that might be helpful for people who maintain Python Debian/Fedora package or Installer on Mac/Windows. The demerit is * Right now the gcc-4.8 is used for the coverage. The total running time on gcc-8 might be longer than current one. * To run the latest gcc-8, we can add the repository [1] with the way [2][3], but I am not sure whether the repository is stable. I would show you 2 cases to use gcc-8 on Linux.
