All,
During Connect the suggestion was made that each working group should have
its own IRC Channel for discussions and topics relating to the group in
particular (as opposed to #linaro which is 'generic' Linaro conversations).
Therefore I have just set up #linaro-tcwg on Freenode for the Toolchain
Working Group.
This channel is public and open to anyone who wants to talk with the TCWG
group about anything toolchain related.
Thanks,
Matt

Hi,
We've had trouble using ABE recently.
abe$ ./abe.sh --target aarch64-linux-gnu

benchmark automation - TCWG-360 [3/10]
* Shifted more generic patches from backport branch to review
* One complete run of backport benchmarking before lab went down
Misc [7/10]
* Most of this (4 or 5 tenths) is reaction to lab downtime
=Plan=
Benchmarking test suite
Fish out, finish off thoughts about benchmark access control
NB Next Monday (4th May) is a public holiday in UK

* TCWG-619:
* abe sysroot/libc issue
While building chromium with development build of toolchain on
arm-linux-gnueabihf, I get the following error:
undefined reference to clock_gettime()
Builds fine with release toolchain build.
Symlinking libc in toolchain install directory to
sysroots/arm-linux-gnueabihf appears to work (which is what --tarbin
did).
* PR65778 - v8 fails to build with LTO
- Resolved Invalid
* PR65837 - target specific builtin not available
- created a reduced test case
- There's a weird issue: looks like for lto1, translation unit command
line options,
precede the default ones rather than overriding them.
Assume test.c contains a neon intrinsic:
arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -flto -c test.c -mfpu=neon
arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -flto test.o
results in target specific builtin not available,
because both -mfpu=neon and -mfpu=vfpv3-d16 is passed
and -mfpu=vfpv3-d16 overrides earlier -mfpu=neon
Passing -mfpu=neon at link time correctly overrides -mfpu=vfpv3-d16.
* PR6778 - ICE in varpool_node::get_constructor.
- Looks like PR65776 appears due to same issue as well.
- It appears error_mark_node gets streamed that causes ICE.
- Triage went wrong, thought it was an error in typeck2.c:check_narrowing().
* PR49551
- The C front-end c/c-decl.c:merge_decls still incorrectly marks the
variable as 'common' for the test-case:
int x = 5;
int x;
However it's not reproducible anymore on trunk (maybe latent?)
- I have an untested patch that resolves the issue in merge_decls().
* Issues
- abe built native gcc on x8_64-unknown-linux-gnu fails to build code
when passed -m32 option (bug 1508).
* Misc
- exams on 20th and 24th april.
* Next week
- Continue working on PR65837, PR65778
- Test patch for PR49551
== Issue ==
* none

o Upstream GCC (8/10)
* [TCWG-785] ARM backend insn cleanup
- Validate and re-worked the patch
- About to be submitted upstream
* [TCWG-762] - GCC Maintenance
- PR64208 (iWMMXT LRA bug):
Found hardware to validate the fix (Thanks Riku :)
Validation ongoing
* Lot of time wasted due to lab compromisation
o Misc (2/10)
* Various meetings
* GCC git repository branches cleanup
== Plan ==
- Continue cleaning GCC git repo to prepare our migration
- Continue upstream pending work
== Progress ==
* Upstream GCC (9/10)
- TCWG-780 - Improve register allocation for
aarch64_*_sisd_or_int<mode>3 patterns.
- TCWG-486 - Optimize Constant Uses in Loops. Posted the arm part of
the patch that addresses review comments after full testing. Waiting for
the cprop review.
- TCWG-796 Zero/sign extension elimination with vrp. Posted the new set
of patches for review. Looking at the testcases H.J.L. pointed me to.
- TCWG-779 Vector rtx costs for AArch64. Posted the patch that
addresses review comments after full testing.
* Misc (1/10)
- gcc-patches, gcc-bugs list
- Meetings
== Plan ==
- Continue with gcc stage1 activities
- Monday public holiday
# Progress #
* arm/aarch64 gdb bug fixing. [5/10]
** PR 18208 (TCWG-765) fails in gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp. Workaround
tricky quote issue with dejagnu/tcl/ssh/bash. A RFC is posted out.
** Fails in gdb.base/relativedebug.exp (TCWG-672), patch is posted out
review.
** Fails in gdb.base/break-idempotent.exp. Skip some tests in it which
require more than one HW watchpoint registers, while arm-linux only
has one. Patch is posted out.
** TCWG-793, do experiment with showing LSB of address in thumb mode inside GDB,
in order to align with MIPS(microMIPS/MIPS16). It needs more work
than expected, and even out the scope of GDB. It is paused.
* FSF GDB patch review. [4/10]
** Review "all stop on top of non stop" V3, done.
** Review "memory-mapped register browsing" patch. Requested more
information from the author.
* Misc, meeting. [1/10] # Plan # * Fix test fails for arm and aarch64 gdb.
* Continue my HW watchpoint resource counting patches once linaro boxes
are online. These boxes don't have HW watchpoint support, and GDB
doesn't handle this case well.
* Upstream patches review.
