4.3.1 Status Report (2008-04-17)
Status == The GCC 4.3 branch is open for commits under normal release branch rules. GCC 4.3.1 is scheduled for 2008-05-05. As we have not yet built 4.3.1-rc1, we will slip that date. As shown below, there are 2 P1s on the 4.3 branch, so we are not yet ready to build RC1. One of the P1s is an ICE: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35399 is alleged to be a regression on the 4.3 branch. The other P1 involves "restrict" and apparently worked in 4.2.x, but not in 4.3.x.

4.3.1 Status Report (2008-04-17)
Status == The GCC 4.3 branch is open for commits under normal release branch rules. GCC 4.3.1 is due around 2008-05-05. As soon as the P1 bugs are fixed and we have -mcld workaround for the x86 direction flag issue, we'll release 4.3.1-rc1. One of the 4 P1s has approved patch and one has been failing also in 4.1/4.2, so IMHO we could release 4.3.1 even without it being fixed. But the remaining two, PR35758 and PR35773, are new C++ 4.3/4.4 regressions and is something that really should be fixed before 4.3.1. So I'd like to draw Jason's and Mark's attention to these. Quality Data Priority # Change from Last Report --- --- P1 4 + 3 P296 + 3 P3 9 - 13 --- --- Total109 - 7 There are no known regressions on the 4.3 branch against a previous 4.3.x release. 31 of the 109 serious regressions for 4.3 are not present on the 4.2 branch. 11 of the 109 serious regressions for 4.3 are fixed for 4.4. Previous Report === http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2008-03/msg01081.html The next report for the 4.3 branch will be sent by Mark.
