Dear all,
Those of you who attended the GNU Tools Cauldron this weekend will have
noticed that I retired from the GCC Steering Committee, citing my age (I
will turn 70 in three weeks).
I decided that it would be appropriate to do this openly, to
"counteract" the strange asymmetry that new members of the Steering
Committee are announced openly, but leaving members do so quietly.
Of course, "age" is only a very narrow reason to retire - far more
important is my diminishing knowledge of relevant developments in GCC.
[ For comparison, https://moene.org/~toon/nwp.ps is what I worked on
when the Steering Committee was formed in November 1998 - as you can see
it uses a now non-existent Fortran Frontend and misses the important
concepts "parallel" and "vector". ]
I would like to thank all contributors to GCC I have worked with during
the years - it was a great experience !
Kind regards,
--
