== This Week == * TCWG-120 (8/10) - Resolved df issue in my patch, sent to tcwg list for review, - VRP makes the issue latent at -O2. Reproducible with -fno-tree-vrp - Taking another approach to run a "specialized" combine pass before combine pass that folds arm_andsi3_insn/arm_cmpsi_insn to zeroextracsi_compare0_scratch or andsi3_compare0_scratch without relying on combine. Patch: http://pastebin.com/gLVg7pbN Asm diff at -O1: http://pastebin.com/yXBHHkhM Asm diff at -O2 -fno-tree-vrp: http://pastebin.com/EKj6hXkt * Misc (2/10) - Meetings - Had a look at vect test-cases failing due to LTO == Issues == - No access to Juno - Can't login to IRC via ZNC (can connect directly). == Next Week == - Continue with TCWG-120 - Start looking at TCWG-80

== Progress == * Holidays (4/10) * Buildbots (2/10) - Several breakages, Clang alignment issue sill breaking self-hosted bots... * Maintenance (2/10) - Backtracks on the TargetParser, code heavily modified, discussions ensued. - Helping Vinicius with __aeabi_memcpy in the kernel * Releases (0/10) - Release 3.7.0 final validated / uploaded - Waiting for final switch * Background (2/10) - Code review, meetings, discussions, etc. - Backlog of emails, reviews == Plan == Look at libc++ / RT / unwind again see if I can reduce the errors in both AArch64 and ARM to zero. == Issues == The power cuts and the effect it had on my buildbots made me spend 3 days of my holidays to fix. Other buildbot breakages made me spend another 2, and I couldn't wait until I was back, or it would have wasted an entire week (as it has happened before). In a nutshell, I can't have holidays. Yay!

# Progress # * Holiday on Monday [2/10] * TCWG-857, [4/10]. All the multi-arch work are done (I hope) but patches can't be sent out until kernel patches are pushed in upstream. ** Collect some arguments from kernel folks to defend my change "32-bit CPSR to 64-bit PSTATE". Patch is posted out. ** Finish the patch to convert siginfo_t between 32-bit debuggee and 64-bit debugger. Done. Will post it next week. ** Get right TLS base in multi-arch debugging. Patch is done. * Happen to see we can improve GDB performance in some case by avoid sending some packets. Patch is done, but need to collect some performance data. [2/10] * Misc [1/10] ** Close some tickets, TCWG-567, TCWG-876, as they are done. * TCWG-757 [1/10], many patches review. # Plan # * Continue to upstream multi-arch patches. * Upgrade my juno board kernel to git master to test kernel patches for multi-arch debugging work properly. * Collect some GDB performance data for my patch. -- Yao

Odd Linaro GCC 4.8 2015.06 behavior with precompiled headers

by Dragan Stancevic

Hi- It seems that there is some discrepancy between Linaro GCC 4.8 2015.06 and Linaro GCC 4.8 2014.11 with regards to precompiled headers. It appears that 2015.06 doesn't even attempt to open the precompiled headers according to strace. I have been looking on gcc mailing list but have not been able to find any fixes related to precompiled headers. Does anyone have any pointers as to what should I be looking at to get to the bottom of this issue? This simple program compiles without any problems on 2014.11, but fails on 2015.06 because 2015.06 doesn't even attempt to read tst.h.gch created by "make header" dragans@tst:~$ cat Makefile PROJ=tst CC=arm-linux-gcc LD=arm-linux-ld all: header $(PROJ) header: $(PROJ)._ cp $(PROJ)._ $(PROJ).h $(CC) -x c-header -c $(PROJ).h $(PROJ): $(RM) $(PROJ).h $(CC) $(PROJ).c -o $(PROJ) clean: $(RM) $(PROJ).h.gch $(PROJ).h $(PROJ) dragans@tst:~$ cat tst._ #include <stdio.h> dragans@tst:~$ cat tst.c #include "tst.h" int main(int argc, char**argv) { char *s = "Test"; printf("%s\n", s); return 0; }
