== Progress == * EEMBC - Ran on multiple boards, collected statistical data, wrote some scripts to do it again - Found a few regressions on GCC 4.9, reported internally - Found 4 benchmarks in which LLVM is a lot worse - Looking at RGBCMY which GCC is able to vectorise - LLVM transforms the pointer access into a PHI cycle, which is wrongly interpreted as a reduction variable by the loop vectorizer. * Background - Patch reviews and discussions as usual - TCWG rack has arrived! - Got another Chromebook and an ODroid XU to play with next week == Plan == * Update script to rank the compilers according to EEMBC results on the same machine * Try to teach the loop vectorizer to not treat load/store PHIs as a reduction variable * Set up some temporary buildbots with new hardware

process for enabling gccgo in Linaro GCC binary distributions

by Michael Hudson-Doyle

Hi, With the patch I just sent to this list in place, gccgo builds for aarch64. I don't know how well it _works_ -- "hello world" builds and runs -- but I would like to ask what the process would be to get gccgo included in the binary distributions of GCC that Linaro makes. Cheers, mwh

== Progress == * Got Odroid U2 board up and doing builds. Stock hardkernel kernel images are unstable, keeps remounting USB drive read-only under a load. * Got the new support for branches and revisions for any toolchain component working in Cbuildv2. * Attended the 30th anniversary of the GNU project in Boston over the weekend. == Plan == * Continuing with Jenkins/Cbuildv2/Git integration. * Try to work around problem with importing test results. * Compare automated tarballs with the current release tarballs. * Get Odroid U2 working reliably. * Get Odroid X2 working. == Issues == * Upgrading Gnome on my laptop destroyed my desktop to where nothing worked, limiting productivity for a few days.

MPFR build issue

by Kugan

Hi, With respect to the MPFR build error, (http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58578), is movs appropraite as shown below? When _err1 is negative the condition is evaluating it to be true. /* C Codeoes */ if (_err1 > 0) { /* working code */ .loc 1 67 0 cmp r3, #0 ble .L6 /* not working code*/ .loc 1 67 0 movs r3, r3, asl #1 ble .L6 When I looked at the ARM documents, I found the following Condition flags ------------------- If S is specified, for MOV instructions: 1. update the N and Z flags according to the result 2. can update the C flag during the calculation of Operand2 (see Flexible second operand) 3. do not affect the V flag. And also le Signed less than or equal. (Z==1) || (N!=V) Does this means we cant movs at comparision. http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-02/msg00861.html added this and I guess it is intentional. Am I missing anything here? Thanks, Kugan

== Progress == * AArch64 frame grows downward: no feedback yet. * Disable-peeling: trying to tune the vectorizer cost model so that it is less aggressive. * AArch64 bootstrap failure: build it still on-going, so still hoping to reproduce it. * GCC trunk cross-validation: - aarch64 added - looking at how to handle compute farm jobs timeouts nicely * Backports: - launched several merge requests for a few individual patches. == Next == * AArch64 frame grows downward: continue * Disable-peeling: continue * Backports : spend little time on checking the results

Progress . worked on cleaning up arm config in gcc (TCWG-201) . not really convinced I have a way to properly test the result . a bit of bug triage . a bit more on the 4.7 segfault bug (lp1215925) Plans . ping the arm*gnueabihf testsuite patch . finish the config clean up . revisit 4.7 segfault, now I have more suggestions from Matt

Short week (Tuesday and Wednesday went to US consulate Chennai for VISA interview and document processing). == Progress == * gprof support for aarch64 Re-based and tested. Asked permission for upstreaming in trunk. Gibc patches are upstreamed. Thanks to Marcus. * Aarch64 Boot strap failure. Tried to reproduce it in V8 model. Build failing in stage 1 for me. * 1-1 Meet with Christophe. == Plan == * Back to libssp support. * Aarch64 boot strap issue. == Issues == * LTO/PGO work stopped now since libssp support priority is more. Misc ------ October 2 India Holiday.

== Progress == * MPFR and GMP Build error with Latest 4.8 Release - Reproduced MPFR error with a simplified testcase - Found the buggy codesequence and the patch that introduced it. - Looking at solution for this - Reprdouced GMP error with -march=armv7-a and -mthumb - continuing with the invetigation * 64bit division - Looked at current libgcc implementaion and studied the alorithm. * Addressing patch review - Posted second patch for zero/sign extension * spec2k comparison between ARM and x86 - Ran spec2k with various options to validate code analysis == Plan == * Continue with spec2k comparison between ARM and x86 * Continue 64bit division * Fix GMP and MPFR build error

== Progress == (TCWG-270) * Tested GDB Process Record/Replay and reverse debug feature for arm. * Thumb32 support patch along with a couple of bug fixes made huge improvement in testsuite results. (TCWG-267) and (TCWG-269) * Reviewed all previous submitted patches and wrote response patch updates. * Implemented gdb/testsuite/gdb.dwaf2/dw2-error.exp using dwarf assembler. (TCWG-268) * Submitted patch for failing gdb/testsuite/gdb.dwaf2/dw2-case-insensitive.exp (TCWG-272) * Re-viewed and verified gdb bugs reported on launchpad and created JIRA cards where required. (TCWG-265) * Generated Test data to test instruction decoding in arm specific code of gdb process record/replay. (TCWG-280) * Reviewed previously submitted patches related to gdb process record syscall support for arm targets. * Submitted US Visa application for processing and got appointment for Visa Interview. * Reviewed all open JIRA cards and created new ones for future progress on GDB == Plan == (TCWG-270) * Submitt patch for bug fixes and show testsuite improvement with bug fixes and thumb32 patch. * Do more testing and analyse failures and try to fix them if possible. * Verify issues reported by maintainers in old arm instruction decoding code. (TCWG-267), (TCWG-268) and (TCWG-269) * Update gdb/testsuite/gdb.dwaf2/dw2-error.exp as asked by gdb maintainers. * Ping or Send response to comments. (TCWG-280) * Test syscall support with old patch and make changes if required. * Travel to Islamabad on Tuesday to attend US visa interview early morning Wednesday.
