Re: GCC 4.8.0 Status Report (2012-10-29), Stage 1 to end soon

[Sterling Augustine]

Hi Jakub,

I would like to get the fission implementation in before stage 1. It
has been under review for some time, and is awaiting another round of
review now.

Dwarf location list base address entry

[Sterling Augustine]

Hi,

Under what circumstances does gcc emit a base address selection entry
for a dwarf location list?

I've looked at the code, and think the answer is "never", but perhaps
I'm missing something, and I want to be sure.

Thanks,

Sterling

Re: Xtensa port maintainer

[Sterling Augustine]

Could I ping on the issue described below?

Bob can no longer maintain the Xtensa port for GCC, and I don't think he 
is even reading the GCC mailing list any more. For the forseeable 
future, I am responsible for the Xtensa port of GCC here at Tensilica.


What should I do to move the process forward?

Thanks,

Sterling

I am moving to a new job and will no longer be able to serve as the 
Xtensa port maintainer for GCC.  I would like to nominate Sterling 
Augustine to take my place.  Sterling has done a lot of work on the GNU 
assembler and recently worked on GCC with me to use DWARF unwinding for 
Xtensa.  I think he will do a good job.  Would the steering committee 
please consider that nomination?


I am working to hand over what I know to Sterling.  If there is anything 
in particular that I can do to help with the transition, please let me 
know.


It has been great to work with all of you.  Working on GCC has been a 
relatively small part of my job for the last few years, and I would have 
liked to do more.  I have really enjoyed seeing this team of developers 
from around the world collaborate so well.  Thanks to everyone who has 
helped me out with reviews and suggestions over the years.
