gcc-3.4.4 - Gpc

22 May 2005


      Hi
Now that gcc-3.4.4 is out, thought I'd try it with gcc-20050331.
Using gcc-3.4.3.diff, got these rejects:
   gcc.c.rej
   varasm.c.rej
   version.c.rej
That last one I needed to patch version.c manualy so gcc would compile.
After I did it, wondered if it might be beter to patch gpc instead?
Since have 2 cpu's, tried "make -j3 bootstrap". The c part ran ok, it
quit in the rts with an error message.
"make bootstrap" & installed with no problem:
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/specs
Configured with: ../gcc-3.4.4/configure --enable-languages=c,c++,pascal
Thread model: posix
gpc version 20050331, based on gcc-3.4.4
Ran gpc's test using gcc-3.3.5 and then gcc-3.4.4, got one new fail:
   avo7.pas
And ran the tests with "time make":
gcc-3.3.5      gcc-3.4.4
               ----------     ----------
   real        22m24.452s     20m49.896s
   user        11m40.872s     10m52.583s
   system      10m25.648s      9m41.803s
And that's it
