<< Debian Linux: Resistance is futile! >> << e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Mitchell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, June 18, 2001 12:21 PM Subject: GCC 3.0 Released > > Version 3.0 of the GNU Compiler Collection > ========================================== > > Overview > -------- > > GCC 3.0 is now available. > > This release contains many new features and improvements. The > highlights include: > > - Support for Java, including the GNU implementation of the Java > run-time library. > > - A new x86 back-end, which generates faster code. > > - A more efficient, more standards-compliant C++ compiler, > using an industry standard C++ ABI. > > - A new, standards-conformant, implementation of the C++ standard > library. > > - Improved optimizations. > > - Improved documentation. > > There are many, many more new features and other improvements. For a > more complete list, visit: > > http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.0/features.html > > Caveats > ------- > > For specific caveats about GCC 3.0, including information about > some user-visible changes to GCC 3.0, please visit: > > http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.0/caveats.html > > Because this release contains so many new features and new > optimizations, it also contains some new bugs. Although a tremendous > amount of effort has been invested in eliminating bugs, there are > undoubtedly problems remaining. The web page mentioned above will > be updated as we obtain additional information about frequently > encountered problems. > > While we feel that GCC 3.0 is suitable for production use, you should > of course test recompiled applications carefully before deploying them > in mission-critical environments. We do not recommend replacing the > system compiler on your system with GCC 3.0, because that makes it > difficult for you to downgrade, should the need arise. > > We know that GCC 3.0 does not work as well on some embedded systems as > previous releases of GCC. We hope to correct these problems in an > upcoming GCC 3.0.1 release soon. If you are am embedded systems user > and would like to help, please visit: > > http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html > > We also know that current versions of GLIBC do not work when > recompiled with GCC 3.0. The GLIBC developers are working on solving > this problem. > > If you find problems in GCC 3.0, please follow the instructions at: > > http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html > > to let us know where you ran into trouble. While we cannot promise to > fix any given bug, your feedback will be valuable to us in > prioritizing our effort on future releases. > > Acknowledgements > ---------------- > > Many, many people contributed to this release. You can find many of > them listed at: > > http://gcc.gnu.org/thanks.html > > There are undoubtedly some omissions from that list; we apologize in > advance to those who have been accidentally left out. > > As the Release Manager for GCC 3.0, I would particularly like to thank > the Los Alamos National Laboratory (http://www.lanl.gov) for providing > financial support for a portion of the time that I have put into the > release. > > I would also like to thank the GCC Steering Committee for its guidance > and support throughout the release process. The Steering Committee's > sage advice, and occasional criticism, have made it possible to > prioritize, analyze, and deal with the issues that arose throughout > the release cycle. > > Should you find imperfections in this release, please bear in mind > that a tradeoff has to be made between fixing every bug and making a > release available. When you find places where GCC 3.0 is better than > its predecessors, please thank the implementors of those improvements. > If you find places where it is worse, blame me: the decision to ship, > rather than to wait for futher fixing, lay with me. > > Looking Forward > --------------- > > There will be a 3.0.1 release to fix critical bugs discovered in GCC > 3.0 in the relatively near future, although exact plans have not been > finalized. > > If you would like to participate in that process, please visit: > > http://gcc.gnu.org/lists.html > > to find out how to join the appropriate mailing lists. > > Download > -------- > > The source release is available for download via FTP on the usual GNU > FTP sites. For a list of GNU mirror sites, please visit: > > http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html > > You will find the following files in `/pub/gnu/gcc/gcc-3.0': > > gcc-3.0.tar.gz > gcc-core-3.0.tar.gz > gcc-g++-3.0.tar.gz > gcc-g77-3.0.tar.gz > gcc-java-3.0.tar.gz > gcc-objc-3.0.tar.gz > gcc-testsuite-3.0.tar.gz > > If you download the first file, you do not need to download any of the > others, as it contains the entire compiler. > > If you choose not to download the entire distribution, you must > download the `core' package, which contains the C compiler, along with > any of the other language-specific packages that you want. If you > download the `java' package, you must also download the `g++' package, > because the Java run-time library is partially written in C++. > > For detailed installation instructions, please visit: > > http://gcc.gnu.org/install/ > > Because GCC is a large and complex piece of software, its installation > is somewhat more complicated than many other programs. Binary > distributions of the compiler, packaged for your system, may be > available from your system vendor or elsewhere on the internet, and > these distributions may provide you an easier way to install GCC 3.0. >
