GCC

As Scott Long clarified, 5.3’s RE will start on August 15. Alexenda Kabbev today announced the import of gcc 3.4.x snapshot will happen soon.

Yes, I am not joking, this will happen soon!! Yeah!!

It seems (still can’t access to the Internet right now, however, HTTP and cvsup works) that OpenBSD has imported gdb 6.1 into their source tree. I am not sure whether they did some hacks to the source repository (from cvsup result, there is not), but the result is really strange. It seems that the last import was done by using a “cvs add -rCYGNUS” and not “cvs import”…

I hope FreeBSD can import a newer gdb ASAP, as well as gcc 3.4 series.

发现VC上面偶尔会用到的const_cast在gcc (c++)里面竟然不能用，郁闷，遂采用C-style cast，但我希望修正这个问题。

Finally the long-awaited gcc 3.4.0 RELEASE has been released. When will it be ported to FreeBSD’s main tree?

Today, NetBSD has announced their start of 2.0-RELEASE works. NetBSD is an excellent operating system that supports many platforms, if not most.

David O’Brien has announced the -O2 clean for AMD64 platform. Meanwhile, it seems that alpha has a -O2 clean build now!

It’s our pleasure to see GCC 3.4 import to be listed in FreeBSD 5.3-R todo list. Unfortunatelly, gmake is now a required prerequisite when building GCC 3.4, this may slow down the import progress.

Well I finally can get this into my blog because Microsoft has publicly announced it :-) The information got from my friend has finally confirmed, and this is really exciting!!
