~ Progress ~ * TCWG-1050, GDB 8.0 release. [7/10] ** Fix PR 19942, but looks my patch is completely wrong as I fully misunderstood the "reference count" in GDB. Writing the v2. ** Intel btrace python interface discussion, a marathon discussion about both the interface and implementation. Good thing is that we agree that we need to change the interface. This takes most of my time this week. * TCWG-1040, Review SVE patches. [2/10] Some discussions on avoid copying register contents to a local buffer again, which is from my review comments to Alan's patch and my suggested patch. Spend some time on understanding the zero initialization of union in C++. I'll update my suggested patch. * Update AArch32 GDB buildbot option, so we can get more reasonable test result. [1/10] ~ Plan ~ * More remote tests for GDB 8.0 release. * Fix PR 19942. * One day off on Thu. -- Yao Qi ___ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org https://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain

[Eurollvm] Attended, we have recorded our thoughts in EuroLLVM 2017 Recap doc [TCWG-614] Range extension thunks - I've finished my downstream implementation, and have written almost all the lld tests I'd like to write - Still need to test on real large programs such as libclang.so - Made a start at breaking down the implementation into smaller patches that can be sensibly upstreamed Plans for next week [TCWG-614] - Aiming to start upstreaming on Monday, I'm expecting this to be quite a drawn out process - Continue testing on ARM Linux Planned Absences ACCU conference 2017 27-29 April ___ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org https://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain

== Progress == * Validation - helped with new llvm build scripts and jobs - improvements to container scripts to cope with llvm's higher needs in resources - improved tcwg-regression tests - various to remove dependencies on env variables - comparison script now reports the associated .exp file name, making it easier to reproduce a regression - experimented with lava - started work on benchmarking scripts * GCC - keeping an eye on trunk regressions - update to qemu-2.8.0 introduced regressions in validation for armeb on some atomic tests * misc (conf-calls, meetings, emails, ) == Next == * Validation: - hopefully nothing :) * Benchmarking:scripting ___ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org https://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain
