No you don't need to learn a new language. You need to learn RTL which
is a
language yes but it is based on LISP. Also some of the recent bugs are
on
the tree level so you just need to know GIMPLE which is really just
simple
expressions. So I don't see why you are complaining because code
generation
bugs should be just reported and let the powers at be fix them. If you
show
that it is a regression, then it will get a higher priority, than other
bugs.
Again I have not seen a simple bug report from you recently; just a
simple
this goes bonkers, this is what I want GCC to output will do.
