I won't work on gcc any longer after gcc6 has been released in about
|
|
April 2016. So please step up as maintainer of gcc6/gcc7 for NetBSD.
|
|
|
|
0) This package aims to keep the latest gcc usable on NetBSD, although
|
|
any work on gcc should happen upstream as far as possible. But it is
|
|
hopeless without enough NetBSD developers working on it upstream. I have sent
|
|
some patches for NetBSD to GCC a few month ago but there is no progress yet:
|
|
|
|
PR 64271, the minimal patch set to bootstrap, extracted from pkgsrc.
|
|
Jonathan Wakely is working on the libstdc++ patches involved.
|
|
Without acceptance of patches for PR 64271, no other patches
|
|
will be accepted upstream.
|
|
|
|
PR 39570, this bug causes all gfortran run tests to fail. I have developed
|
|
the necessary patches and sent them upstream. For gcc50snapshot it means
|
|
replacing a short patch by a bunch of complex patches, but they are gcc
|
|
conforming and can be reused for other patches as well.
|
|
|
|
PR 48244, for iso_c_binding support in gfortran. The patches are
|
|
there but it is delayed by PR 64271.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) On NetBSD a working cabsl function must be present in libm to build gfortran.
|
|
This has been added to NetBSD7 on 2014/10/13. Before this date it was defined
|
|
in complex.h but missing from libm.
|
|
|
|
2) Unless NetBSD gets proper support for C99, the number of test failures
|
|
will stay high. The dozens of missing or inaccurate long double functions
|
|
causes a misconception of NetBSD being an obscure platform, causing other
|
|
projects like gcc or R to abandon support for NetBSD. And the race goes on,
|
|
now we need support for C11 functions like aligned_alloc and the plethora
|
|
of thread functions in our libc/libm.
|
|
|
|
3) This package and the lang/gccXY need a cleanup or a complete new start. I
|
|
think that SUBST_VARS could handle the platform dependencies in a much cleaner
|
|
way.
|
|
|
|
4) Patches from lang/gcc5 should be integrated as far as possible, especially
|
|
patches for other platforms. Right now I just look at it from time to time.
|
|
|
|
Have fun,
|
|
