* GDB is confused by the line table generated by GCC with -gcolumn-info
PR 22531. [2/5]
My preparatory patches are reviewed, mostly on C++, get encouraged to
use more fancy C++ features.
* gfortran 7.2 vs 8.0 debug information difference. [2/5]
Many gdb.fortran test fails with gfortran 8 but gfotran 7.2 is OK. I
'git bisect' gcc and find the commit causing the debug info change,
it is like a bug to me, but my compiler/fortran knowledge is too few
to claim it is a 7.2 -> 8.0 regression.
Posted my analysis to gcc@ and fortran@ mail list.

Hi,
given the following code:
-- isystem_test.cpp -------------
#include < isystem_test.h>
bool dummy_function( void )
{
return false;
}
-----------------------------------------
-- isystem_test.h ------------------
template <class _CS_cT>
class allocator
{
};
-----------------------------------------
and g++ version: arm-eabi-g++.exe (Linaro GCC 7.2-2017.11)
1. compiling with "arm-eabi-g++ -I . -g -c isystem_test.cpp"
--> OK
2. compiling with " arm-eabi-g++ -isystem . -g -c isystem_test.cpp "
--> output error:
In file included from isystem_test.cpp:3:0:
./isystem_test.h:3:1: error: template with C linkage
template <class _CS_cT>
^~~~~~~~
It seams that the option -isystem changes the include of isystems_test.h into a C include, i.e. the header content seems to be handled as C-Code
Same error behavior with arm-eabi Linaro GCC 6.4-2017.11, Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.05
-----------------
Testing the same with the mingw msys g++ compiler outputs no error:
g++.exe (Rev2, Built by MSYS2 project) 7.2.0

Also no errors for:
arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++.exe (Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.05)
---------------
Is there a special behavior for arm-eabi g++ compiler?
Best regards
Martin Kaul
The Linaro Toolchain Working Group (TCWG) is pleased to announce the 2018.01
snapshot of Linaro GCC 6 and 7 source packages.
o The GCC 7 series introduced an ABI change for ARM targets by fixing a bug
(present since GCC 5, see link below) that affects conformance to the procedure
call standard (AAPCS). The bug affects some C++ code where class objects are
passed by value to functions and could result in incorrect or inconsistent code
being generated. If the option -Wpsabi is enabled (on by default) the compiler
will emit a diagnostic note for code that might be affected by this ABI change.
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77728
For an explanation of the changes please see the following website:
https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-7/changes.html
o Linaro GCC 7 monthly snapshot[1] is based on FSF GCC 7.2+svn254792 and
includes performance improvements and bug fixes backported from mainline GCC.
The contents of this snapshot will be part of the 2018.02 stable[2] quarterly
release.
This snapshot tarball is available on:
http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/7.2-2018.01/
Interesting changes in this GCC source package snapshot include:
* Updates to GCC 7.2+svn256695
o Linaro GCC 6 monthly snapshot[1] is based on FSF GCC 6.4+svn254791 and
includes performance improvements and bug fixes backported from mainline GCC.
This snapshot contents will be part of the next maintenance release.
This snapshot tarball is available on:
http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/6.4-2018.01/
Interesting changes in this GCC source package snapshot include:
* Updates to GCC 6.4+svn256699
o Subscribe to the important Linaro mailing lists and join our IRC channels to
stay on top of Linaro development.

[1]. Source package snapshots are defined when the compiler is only
put through unit-testing and full validation is not performed.
[2]. Stable source package releases are defined as releases where the
full Linaro Toolchain validation plan is executed.

o LLVM
* Bugzilla 33011 (MVN instruction "Upredictable" bit patterns incorrect):
- Working on upstream comments
* Working on more unpredictable handling in Tablegen
* Fixing an issue with registers class in peephole optimization
(exhibited by unpredictable patches).
* Buildbots babysitting: investigated OOM issue, offending patch reverted.
o Misc
* Various meetings and discussions.
# Progress #
* GDB is confused by the line table generated by GCC with -gcolumn-info
PR 22531. [2/5]
Chat with other two people who are changing the same file, and they
are OK to get my changes first. Commit one obvious patch, and testing
one patch series for refactor.
* TCWG-181, GDB compile feature. [2/5]
Many new test failures in gdb.compile, because it is not supported on
arm and aarch64, but we have no way to disable them. Commit two fixes
to get test better, but still many fails on arm-linux. I think I
still need a patch to disable the test form arm-linux.
* TCWG-1040, SVE patches review. [1/5]
Review Alan's patches.
# Plan #
* PR 22531, upstream preparatory patches,
