The Linaro Toolchain Working Group (TCWG) is pleased to announce the 2018.04 snapshot of Linaro GCC 6 and 7 source packages.
o The GCC 7 series introduced an ABI change for ARM targets by fixing a bug (present since GCC 5, see link below) that affects conformance to the procedure call standard (AAPCS). The bug affects some C++ code where class objects are passed by value to functions and could result in incorrect or inconsistent code being generated. If the option -Wpsabi is enabled (on by default) the compiler will emit a diagnostic note for code that might be affected by this ABI change. https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77728 For an explanation of the changes please see the following website: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-7/changes.html o Linaro GCC 7 monthly snapshot[1] is based on FSF GCC 7.3+svn259627 and includes performance improvements and bug fixes backported from mainline GCC. The contents of this snapshot will be part of the 2018.05 stable[2] quarterly release.

This snapshot contents will be part of the next maintenance release. This snapshot tarball is available on: http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/6.4-2018.04/ Interesting changes in this GCC source package snapshot include: * Updates to GCC 6.4+svn259634 o Subscribe to the important Linaro mailing lists and join our IRC channels to stay on top of Linaro development. ** Linaro Toolchain Development "mailing list": http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain ** Linaro Toolchain IRC channel on irc.freenode.net at @#linaro-tcwg@ * Bug reports should be filed in Bugzilla against GCC product: http://bugs.linaro.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GCC * Interested in commercial support? inquire at "Linaro support": mailto:supp...@linaro.org [1]. Source package snapshots are defined when the compiler is only put through unit-testing and full validation is not performed. [2]. Stable source package releases are defined as releases where the full Linaro Toolchain validation plan is executed. _______________________________________________ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org https://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain
