As of now, please consider the GCC 4.0 branch completely frozen for all
changes, including documentation, testsuite, etc.
However, I'm not entirely happy with the state of the compiler from the
point of view of doing a release.
There are several PRs for wrong-code in 4.0.1 that seem potentially as
serious as the KDE thing. In order from most serious to least:
* PR 22043, which involves a failure to initialize fields in automatic
structures. The patch has been applied to the 4.0 branch, but the
target milestone still says 4.0.1. Bugmasters, is that just a mistake?
* PR 22000, in which we throw away volatile reads. That's a serious
problem for embedded targets.
* PR 22051, which involves wrong-code generation for pointer comparisons
on one of our primary platforms.
* PR 21985, in which we are mis-folding expressions involving pointer
arithmetic.
I'll wander over to the summit, and see whose brains are available for
picking about these things.
