Hi all, We are at the end of May now, so I guess we can safely remove support for gcc 4.8.
This should involve a) Using gcc 5.x (5.4?) in jenkins @Rahul Thakur<mailto:rjtha...@google.com> b) Update gem5 requirements documentation (in gem5.org?)

Ubuntu 14.04 ships with GCC 4.8. If its not too much hassle supporting 4.8, what about dropping support for gcc < 5.0 after the EOL of Ubuntu 14.04? (So perhaps drop support for gcc < 5.0 beginning May 2019) Best Regards, Chang Hyun Park > On 27 Nov 2018, at 3:53 AM, Jason Lowe-Power <ja...@lowepower.com> wrote: > > Dropping 4.8/4.9 works for me.
