+ + + Base GCC Updates + + + + + Pedro + Giffuni + + pfg@FreeBSD.org + + + + +

The GCC compiler in the &os; base system is on its way to + deprecation and is only used by some Tier-2 platforms at this + time. While Clang is much better in many aspects, we still + cannot use in base all the new features it brings until we can + drop GCC completely. As a stop-gap solution several bug fixes + and features from Apple GCC and other sources have been ported + to our version of GCC 4.2.1 to make it more compatible with + Clang. &os;'s GCC has added more warnings and some enhancements + like -Wmost and -Wnewline-eof. An + implementation for Apple's blocks extension is now available too + and it will be very useful to enhance &os;'s support for Apple's + Grand Central Dispatch (GCD).

+ + + + Merge from head to stable/9 is being + considered but it disables nested functions by default so the + impact on ports has to be evaluated. + + No further development of GCC 4.2 in the base system is + planned. + +
