# Progress #

* TCWG-1159,New design of GDB/GDBserver target description.  [1/10]
   Commit one patch of v3.  No review comments.  Usually it means I don't
  review patches, so other people don't review my patches.

* PR 21555.  [3/10]
  Think it again, and fix it with a better approach.  Patches are posted.

* PR 21717.  [2/10]
  Fix a bug on getting/setting FPSCR on VFPv2.  I am surprised that we don't
  find it before.  Testing patches.

* TCWG-1162, Test GDB+OpenOCD with AArch64 boards.  [1/10]
  Blocked by OpenOCD bugs.  Chat with OpenOCD maintainer to make sure
  these bugs are opened in the right place.

* TCWG-561, [3/10]
  I finish the patches, but not confident because I use copy-and-swap idiom
  for the first time.  Need more time to bake it, write unit tests, etc.  Maybe,
  still need to read "More effective C++" further.

* TCWG-1162, Test GDB+OpenOCD with AArch64 boards.
  Blocked by OpenOCD bugs.  Chat with OpenOCD maintainer to make sure
  these bugs are opened in the right place.  Matthew (who contributed OpenOCD
  AArch64) pinged me on irc, but he lost connection immediately.  Probably, he
  contact me for the OpenOCD bugs.

* Think about presenting GDB target description work in Linaro SFO17,
   may add some SVE stuff if possible, to make it more attractive.

# Plan #
* TCWG-1159,
* PR 21717, 21555,
* TCWG-561,
* Register the presentation for Linaro SFO17,

== Progress ==

* [ARM GlobalISel] Support globals [6/10]
  - This is going to be very hairy because of all the different
relocation models (PIC, ROPI etc), differences between ELF and MachO,
and differences between targets with MOVT or without it
  - Started adding support for simple, statically linked globals, it
might take me a while to get all the pseudoinstructions right even for
this simple case

* Misc [4/10]
  - Meetings, mailing lists, code reviews, buildbots

== Plan ==

* More GlobalISel
* More code reviews

[Christophe Lyon]

== Progress ==
* Infrastructure/validation:
  - minor fixes in the release jobs

* Benchmarking:
  - fixes on reporting scripts
  - using more iterations didn't produce more stable results (still noise)
  - trying to reboot the boards before running the benchs

* GCC upstream validation:
  - further reduced noise ("random" pass/failures)
  - sent a patch to fix an aarch64 problem with -mstrict-align

* misc (conf-calls, meetings, emails, )

== Next ==
Holidays until August 21st
