We have been in Stage 3 for a little while now. I'm sure a few more patches that were proposed in Stage 2 will find their way into 4.1, but we're approximately feature-complete at this point. Thank you for respecting the process. I'm going to make a call for 4.2 features when the 4.1 release branch is created, but it's not too early to start thinking about what you plan to do in 4.2.
There are 225 regressions open against GCC 4.1. About half of these (119) are not regressions in 4.0, i.e., they are new regressions introduced in the course of 4.1. While it does seem that the regression rate has declined slightly from 4.0, it still seems rather high. As one would expect, given the current focus of the developers, many of the problems relate to the optimizers: wrong code, crashes, or failures to optimize. All in all, I'd say that we look like we're doing OK. As this is Stage 3, the focus is now on fixing bugs, and that's certainly what we need to do. Stage 3 is scheduled to end September 8th. I think that's going to end up slipping, unless we really start knocking down bugs, but hopefully we can get close. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery, LLC [EMAIL PROTECTED] (916) 791-8304
