--- Comment #13 from Eric Gallager <egallager at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to Jim Wilson from comment #12) > I no longer have access to IA-64 hardware. I was leaving myself as > maintainer just so that there was someone responsible for answering > questions. I don't care if the port survives or not. I can resign if that > makes things easier. > > There is an ia64 debian group that has hardware, and is still doing debian > work. They would be disappointed if the ia64 port was deprecated. I get > the occasional binutils and gcc bug reports from them, and am occasionally > able to fix them even though I don't have hardware. Do they have a bugzilla account here that could be cc-ed? > > I think that solving this bug requires that all locals get initialized to 0 > when defined. Otherwise, you may accidentally read a register with the nat > bit set when doing bit-field operations on a register. I don't care enough > about ia64 to try to fix this.
