Long awaited, the update to GCC 4.9 as the default version of + GCC in the Ports Collection (lang/gcc port, + USE_GCC=yes in Makefiles) has arrived, up from GCC 4.8. + This brings quite a number of improvements, see https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.9/changes.html + for details.

+ +

lang/gcc49 has moved to the GCC 4.9.4 release which + marks the closure of the GCC 4.9 branch and release series.

+ +

(Yes, this means we should rather get the next version + upgrade for lang/gcc in place soon. That update per se + is straightforward, but any help in addressing the fallout of + broken ports would be great — please let us know if you + want to help!)

+ +

lang/gcc6 has been updated first to GCC 6.2 and then + GCC 6.3, bringing a fair number of fixes, and should now be + finely suitable for production use.

+ + + + Update lang/gcc (and hence USE_GCC=yes) + to GCC 5. + + Support for AArch64. + +
