I'm more inclined to work on the C backend though.<BR> <BR> - Jay <BR><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div>> Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2013 20:44:59 +0100<br>> From: jakub@redhat.com<br>> To: gcc-announce@gcc.gnu.org<br>> Subject: GCC 4.8.0 Released<br>> <br>> Exactly one year after the last major GCC release has been announced,<br>> celebrating the 26th anniversary of the GNU Compiler Collection,<br>> the GCC development team announces a new major GCC release, 4.8.0.<br>> <br>> GCC 4.8.0 is a major release containing substantial new<br>> functionality not available in GCC 4.7.x or previous GCC releases.<br>> <br>> GCC 4.8 features a new Local Register Allocator which replaces the 26 <br>> years old reload pass and improves generated code quality on ia32 and <br>> x86-64 targets. The C++ frontend and standard library have been<br>> enhanced with various improvements for C++11 support not limited to C++11<br>> attribute syntax, thread_local or inheriting constructors support.<br>> <br>> AddressSanitizer and ThreadSanitizer instrumentation have been<br>> added to detect heap, stack and global buffer overflows, uses after free<br>> and data races.<br>> <br>> Many scalability bottle-necks have been removed from GCC optimization <br>> passes, thus it is now possible to compile extremely large functions with <br>> smaller memory consumption in less time.<br>> <br>> Extending the widest support for hardware architectures in the industry, <br>> GCC 4.8 has gained support for the upcoming 64-bit ARM instruction set <br>> architecture, AArch64. GCC 4.8 also features support for Hardware <br>> Transactional Memory on the upcoming Intel Haswell CPU architecture.<br>> The S/390 target now supports the zEC12 architecture. The ARM 32-bit<br>> target has gained support for AArch32 ARM v8 ISA additions.<br>> <br>> See<br>> <br>> http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.8/changes.html<br>> <br>> for more information about changes in GCC 4.8.<br>> <br>> This release is available from the FTP servers listed here:<br>> <br>> http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html<br>> <br>> The release is in gcc/gcc-4.8.0/ subdirectory.<br>> <br>> If you encounter difficulties using GCC 4.8, please do not contact me<br>> directly. Instead, please visit http://gcc.gnu.org for information<br>> about getting help.<br>> <br>> <br>> Driving a leading free software project such as GNU Compiler Collection<br>> would not be possible without support from its many contributors.<br>> Not to only mention its developers but especially its regular testers<br>> and users which contribute to its high quality. The list of individuals<br>> is too large to thank individually!<br></div> </div></body>
