implementations.

stabilization for branching for GCC 3.0.
- December 19, 2000

tree. This means that a separate download will no longer be required for
Java support.
- December 4, 2000
-
Nick Clifton of Red Hat has donated support for the Intel XScale
architecture.
- November 26, 2000
-
The C, C++ and Objective C front ends now use the integrated
preprocessor exclusively; their independent ability to tokenize an
input stream has been removed.
- November 18, 2000
-
G++ is now using a new C++ ABI that represents classes more compactly,
uses shorter mangled names, and is optimized for higher run-time
performance. The implementation of the new ABI was contributed by
Mark Mitchell, Nathan Sidwell, and Alexander Samuel of CodeSourcery,
LLC.
- November 18, 2000
-
GCC now supports ISO C99 declarations in
for
loops
(for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) /* ... */
). These are
only supported in C99 mode (command line options
-std=gnu99
or -std=c99
), which will be the
default in some future release, but not in GCC 3.0.
- November 14, 2000
-
Michael Matz has donated an implementation of the Lengauer and Tarjan
algorithm for computing dominators in the CFG. This algorithm can
be significantly faster and more space efficient than our older
algorithm. For one particularly nasty CFG from complex C++ code
(more than 77000 basic blocks) compile time dropped from more than
40 minutes to around 25 minutes. Memory consumption was also
dramatically decreased.
- November 13, 2000
-
We have now switched the C++ front end to use
libstdc++-v3, a new implementation of the ISO
Standard C++ Library which brings significant changes and improvements
over our ``old'' library. There still be may some rough edges, but we
are addressing problems as soon as we learn about them -- please help
testing and improving ``your'' ports!
- November 13, 2000
-
GCC now supports two more ISO C99 features:
- The builtin boolean
_Bool
type and the
<stdbool.h>
header. (GCC 2.95 had a non-conforming
<stdbool.h>
header; code that used that header will
not be binary compatible with code using the new conforming
version.)
- Mixed declarations and code in compound statements.
- November 2, 2000
-
The C, C++ and Objective C front ends to GCC now use an integrated
preprocessor by default. If all goes well, this will also be the
default mode for GCC 3.0.
- November 1, 2000
-
Support for C99's
_Pragma
operator has been added to the
preprocessor. This feature effectively makes it possible to have
#pragma
directives be part of macro expansions, and to
have their arguments expanded too if necessary.
- October 6, 2000
-
We would like to point out that GCC 2.96 is not a formal GCC release nor
will there ever be such a release. Rather, GCC 2.96 has been the code-
name for our development branch that will eventually become GCC 3.0.

Zack Weinberg of Cygnus, a Red Hat company, has contributed
modifications to the C, C++, and Objective C compilers which permit
them to use the C preprocessor library (cpplib) directly instead of
via a separate executable.
This is not yet the default mode, but we hope it will be the
default in GCC 3.0. When it is used the compiler will be faster
because it will not have to do lexical analysis twice, nor save the
preprocessed output to a temporary file. In the future, this will
permit better error messages, and more detailed debugging information
particularly when complex macros are used.
- Sep 11, 2000
-
Neil Booth has contributed a new lexer and macro-expander for the C
preprocessor. The lexer makes a single pass over the source files,
whereas previously it made two. The macro expander operates on
lexical tokens instead of text strings.
ISO C, C++, and Objective C use the new preprocessor. Traditional
(K+R) C, Fortran, and Chill use an older implementation (taken from
GCC 1) which obeys the rules for pre-standard C preprocessing. Either
version may be used to preprocess assembly language.
- May 2, 2000
-
Stan Cox and Jason Eckhardt of Cygnus, a Red Hat company, have
contributed a basic block reordering
pass. The optimization can reposition basic blocks from across
the entire function in an attempt to reduce branch penalties and
enhance instruction cache efficiency.
Our thanks go to Michael Hayes, Jan Hubicka, and Graham Stott who
noticed or fixed defects or made other useful suggestions.
- May 1, 2000
-
Richard Earnshaw of ARM Ltd, and Nick Clifton of Cygnus, a Red Hat
company, have contributed a new backend for the Arm and Thumb
processors.
The new backend combines code generation for the Arm, the Thumb and
the StrongArm into one compiler, with the target processor and
instruction sets being selectable via command line switches.
- April 30, 2000
-
Michael Meissner and Nick Clifton of Cygnus, a Red Hat company, have
contributed a port for the Mitsubishi D30V processor.
Michael Meissner and Richard Henderson of Cygnus, a Red Hat company,
have contributed a new if-conversion pass. The code runs faster and
identifies more optimization opportunities than the old code. In
addition, it also has support for conditional (predicated) execution,
such as is found in the Intel IA-64 architecture, the ARM processors,
and numerous embedded LIW and DSP parts.
- March 22, 2000
-
The Steering Committee has appointed Mark Mitchell, of CodeSourcery, LLC,
to manage the GCC 3.0 release and as a new Steering Committee member.
CodeSourcery will be providing time from Mark, Alex Samuel, and other
personnel, to manage the release. Thanks!
The Steering Committee and the GCC community owe Jeff Law an immense
debt for his work as release manager for the EGCS 1.0.x, 1.1.x, and
GCC 2.95.x series of releases. He has done an outstanding job.

optimizer.

changes from the old GCC 2 sources.
- September 2, 1999
-
Richard Henderson has finished merging the ia32 backend rewrite into the
mainline GCC sources. The rewrite is designed to improve optimization
opportunities for the Pentium II target, but also provides a cleaner
way to optimize for the Pentium III, AMD-K7 and other high end ia32
targets as they appear.
- August 31, 1999

Toon Moene has emailed (and posted) his notes on
the GNU Fortran (
g77
) Birds-of-a-Feather (BOF) session at
LinuxExpo to the appropriate lists,
and Craig Burley has made Toon's notes available (in edited form) at http://world.std.com/~burley/bof.html.
Probably the most important decision reached at the meeting
is that Craig Burley will undertake the long-awaited 0.6 rewrite
of the g77
front end as his top priority for
the gcc
3.0 release,
rather than focusing on implementing some of the most wanted
features that didn't require the rewrite,
such as Cray pointers.
The BOF provided us with
some additional information to guide future development of
GNU Fortran.
Thanks to all who attended, whether in person or in spirit!
- May 18, 1999
-
The sixth snapshot of the ongoing re-written C++ Standard Library has
been released. It includes SGI STL 3.2, an automatically generated
<limits>
, a partially re-written valarray, a working
stringbuf and stringstream (for basic types). For more information,
please check libstdc++ home page.
- April 23, 1999
-
g77
now supports optional run-time checking
of array subscript expressions
via the -fbounds-check
compiler option.
(The same option applies to whatever bounds-checking
applies for other languages, such as Java.
The -ffortran-bounds-check
option specifies
bounds-checking for Fortran code.)
- April 20, 1999
-
Yes, it is not a hoax: The egcs steering committee is appointed official
GNU maintainer for GCC; the egcs team will be responsible for rolling out
future GCC releases.
This will require some changes in policy and procedures for the project.
We will provide more information on those changes as they are available.
www.gnu.org has the FSF announcement
under the "GNU flashes" heading.

libstdc++ home page.
- March 23, 1999
-
Through the efforts of John Wehle and Bernd Schmidt, GCC will now attempt to
keep the stack 64bit aligned on the x86 and allocate doubles on 64bit
boundaries. This can significantly improve floating point performance on the
x86. Work will continue on aligning the stack and floating point values in
the stack.

We have added two new mailing lists for the egcs project.
gcc-cvs and egcs-patches.
When a patch is checked into the CVS repository, a check-in notification
message is automatically sent to the gcc-cvs mailing list. This will
allow developers to monitor changes as they are made.
Patch submissions should be sent to egcs-patches instead of the
main egcs list. This is primarily to help ensure that patch submissions do
not get lost in the large volume of the main mailing list.
