== Progress ==
* GCC
- FDPIC
- rebased GCC and GDB patches on top of recent master branches.
- adjusted some of the GDB (gdbserver) patches to cope with gcc-8
complaints.
- adjusted CI testsuite to cope with gcc-8
* GCC upstream validation:
- no regression to report this week :-)
- still checking go/libgo random results on some tests
* Infrastructure:
- improved tcwg-buildapp (Using Lava, thanks to Remi). Now retries
lava job several times if needed.
- managed to configure postfix to send emails from our build
containers (thanks Ben). Once this is properly configured/deployed,
we'll finally be able to send GCC validation results to the
appropriate list
- resurrected my old work to force use of the old memcpy version
such that our binary toolchains work on older distros (such as
RHEL6...)
* misc (conf-calls, meetings, emails, ....)
== Next ==
* GCC/FDPIC
* GCC upstream validation
== This Week ==
* Code hoisting (TCWG-1234) (6/10)
- Working on approach to add basic block info to ANTIC sets
* GCC bugs (3/10)
- Extend sincos to handle sin 2x (PR83661): Patch completed.
* Misc (1/10)

- FDPIC
- updated binutils ref results in CI. There are a couple of new
failures to investigate
- started GCC upgrade: rebased the FDPIC GCC pile of patches on top of
trunk.
- debugging ICE while building libgcc
* GCC upstream validation:
- helped reproduce a bugzilla on armeb
- reported random go/libgo test failures. Intel confirmed they also see
similar random results.
* Infrastructure:
- improved tcwg-buildapp script/job to actually boot arm/arm64 boards
after building a kernel with a given toolchain. (Using Lava, thanks to Remi)

# Progress #
* gfortran 7.2 vs 8.0 debug information difference. [2/5]

== This Week ==
* GCC bugs (5/10)
a) Extend malloc_candidate_p to handle multiple phi's (TCWG-1331):
Fixed testsuite regressions
b) Extend sincos to handle sin 2x (PR83661): Started working on patch.
* TCWG-1234 (2/10)
- A one liner patch that pessimizes hoisting by requiring an
expression to be in AVAIL blocks of all immediate successors works for
improving the regression.
- Working to make the patch more general to avoid pessimizing hoisting.
* Public holiday (2/10)
