I spoke with a partner today who suggested that perhaps it would be a bit easier to follow the voluminous GCC mailing list if we had separate lists for patches related to particular back-ends (e.g., ARM, MIPS, Power, SuperH, x86, etc.).
The idea here is that (as with libstdc++), we'd send patches to gcc-patches@ and gcc-$arch@, but that reviewers for a particular back-end would find it easier to keep track of things on the architecture-specific lists, and also that this would make it easier when trying to track down patches to backport to distribution versions of the compiler. What do people think about this idea? Thank you, -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery m...@codesourcery.com (650) 331-3385 x713
