*misc (1/10)
- Discovered a bug in glibc when using upstream (4.9) gcc that isn't
present in 4.8. This might have something to do with how binutils
interacts with the compiler instead of simply a compiler issue:
elf/dl-addr.c:152: multiple definition of `_dl_addr_inside_object'
elf/dl-open.c:746: first defined here
== Plan ==
* Create card for new glibc multiple definition problem,
* Start working on glibc related cards
== This week ==
- Completed backport of 197997
- Completed backport of 203774
- Worked on GCC 4.8 FSF Release Branch Merge and initiated merge request
and build
== Next week ==
- Work on GCC 4.7 Release branch Merge
- Begin work on other assigned backports
== Future ==
Document missing features of cbuild for backports

* MCJIT (2/10)
- Disabling Remote MCJIT for now, just to add the self-hosting bot
- Working on a more robust message passing interface
- http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=18057
- Progress stalled, waiting for changes to child process handler
* Buildbots (2/10)

Hi,
According the debian bug report [1], it is not possible to use std::future
on armv5 targetting toolchains. This is because libstdc++ will only enable
std::future if ATOMIC_INT_LOCK_FREE > 1. There is no LDREX for armv5 and
older, so this definition is set to ATOMIC_INT_LOCK_FREE when compiling for
ARMv4t or ARMv5.
My impression is that you should be able to use the kernel helpers for
atomic operations in lockfree (?) manner, so the ATOMIC_INT_LOCK_FREE
definition is probably incorrect on older arm archs then?

== Progress ==
* Disable peeling:
- spawned benchmarking jobs using recent trunk and another older
one to check for performance regressions.
- locally generated the code for the same benchmark to analyze the
differences
* cbuildv2:
- retried to create 4.8-2013.11 source release. Identified a couple
of minor issues, reported to Rob.
- for 4.7-2013.11, need support for subdir in git URLs, fix on-ongoing by Ryan
* Backports:
- gave some support to Michael
- a few have been reviewed/accepted.
* libsanitizer: little progress this week; advised to take a look at
recent LLVM sources.
* trunk validation: filed some bugzilla reports; 2 of them fixed by Kyrill.
== Next ==
* Disable peeling:
- check benchmarks results
- check code generation
* cbuildv2: re-do source releases 4.8 and 4.7 2013.11
* Backports:
- commit already approved ones, once cbuildv2 releases are OK
- see which ones can be easily added
- work on MULTILIB_DEFAULTS backport for 4.7
== Issues ==
* None.
== Progress ==
* LRA on AArch32:
o TCWG-342 : UPSTREAM: LRA issue in gfortran with store minmaxsi
- Committed as rev205526 .
- Card resolved.
o TCWG-344 : UPSTREAM: Thumb bootstrap failure with LRA
- Committed THUMB_SECONDARY_INPUT_RELOAD_CLASS patch as rev205527.
- Committed PR58785 patch as rev205581.
- Card resolved.
o TCWG-345 : Analyse performance of LRA for ARM
- Gathered results and analysis still ongoing.
o Working on a new failure with iWMMXT (LRA loops during constraints solving).
* Reviewed some merge requests.
== Next ==
* Continue on LRA
* Loop specialization patch review.
== Progress ==
* Investigated remaining testsuite failures in ARM process record/replay.
* Tested VFP, SIMD and other advance instruction types recording.
* Ran GDB testsuite in various configurations on gdb7_6_1 code base
and latest git repo.
* Learnt some prologue and epilogue analysis heuristics for resolving
process record bugs in arm.
== Plan ==
* Analyze test results from gdb testsuite runs in various configs and
update JIRA issues.
* Complete testing of VFP, SIMD and other advance instruction types
recording patch and Send updated patch.
* Try to find a epilogue analysis heuristics for resolving reverse
stepping issues in solib code.
== This week ==
- Completed backport of 202872
- Final checkin to upstream GCC SVN will be complete by Christophe Lyon
== Next week ==
- Begin work on other assigned backports
