Dunno. Ask Fabrice. I maintain my own mercurial repository, which I converted from the CVS repository back on October 7th (at which point CVS hadn't been touched since February). I've applied a couple dozen patches to it since then, and have at least a dozen more todo items I should make time for. However, on October 16th and 18th, Fabrice showed up after a long absence and committed some stuff to the old CVS repository (in both cases, variants of patches I think I'd already committed to my repository, the -E thing and stuff from Dave Dodge's patch list), which took most of the wind out of my sails. This put my mercurial repository in an awkward position, as a clearly unofficial branch. If Fabrice showed any desire to take an interest in the project again, I wasn't going to stand in his way, so I stopped actively working on my version at that point. Went on to focus on other things (toybox and firmware linux, mostly). However, it's now been about 4 months since Fabrice's last commit, and he hasn't even tried to catch up with my tree. I'm still not puting much time into it, and I really haven't properly come up to speed on most of the tcc internals, but I've been bookmarking various tcc patches as I find them and I'm slowly working my way through the backlog. So all I can say right now is I maintain _my_ version. I merge patches and try to respond to bug reports. I'm not planning a release (unless somebody really wants one), I have several other demands on my time, I really don't understand the internals of the program half as well as I'd like, and I haven't currently got the three solid months to dedicate to coming up to speed to my satisfaction. I doubt this answers your question. I think I'm maintaining a fork. > If so, I stumbled on some problems too.

Again, got something I can reproduce? (If I can reproduce it, I'll at least _try_ to fix it, if somebody reminds me often enough. :) A couple weeks back somebody sent me a program that segfaults tcc during the compile. Looking into that is on my short-term todo list (at http://landley.net/notes.html). > Geert Rob -- "Perfection is reached, not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery _______________________________________________ Tinycc-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tinycc-devel
