GNU GCC development plan and its interaction with Linaro

by Virendra Kumar Pathak

Hi Linaro Toolchian Group, I am new to GCC development and have some basic question on its development process. Could you please give some insight on below questions. (Apology if they are very trivial). I have read https://gcc.gnu.org/develop.html If I am correct, gcc trunk is on gcc 6.0.0 (stage 3) at present and will becomes 6.0.1 (regression fix only) in January 2016. gcc 6.0.1 will be released as gcc 6.1.0 in April, 2016 and from there onwards gcc 6 release branch will start. However, There is also a gcc 5 branch in parallel whose current version is 5.2.1 and will be released as gcc 5.3 soon. Hopefully gcc 5.3 would be the last release in gcc 5 series. (Please correct me if I am wrong). [Questions] 1. What is the difference between experimental(gcc 6.0.0 stage 3) & gcc release branch (gcc 5.2.1)? Is there any rule which decides which changes will go where? In case, I have some patches for new aarch64 processor at present, in which branch these changes would be merged (assuming they passes reviews)? 2. How is the subversion of release branches are decided? Is it correct to say that there will be always 3 subversion of any release branch (e.g. gcc 5.1, gcc 5.2 & gcc 5.3)? 3. What is the working model between GNU GCC and Linaro GCC? Does Linaro directly accept patches? or they need to go to GNU GCC first? Thanks in advance for your time. with regards, Virendra Kumar Pathak -- with regards, Virendra Kumar Pathak

Fwd: Lost upstream patch in merge from gcc-5-branch to linaro/gcc-5-branch

This was just a theoretical thought and through our CI build I learned exactly what you just told me the hard way now. Sorry for the noise. Robert

Bug: Linaro ABE abe.sh doesn't allow timeout > 10 seconds

by Christopher Roberts

abe.sh in the ABE framework accepts a parameter to set the wget timeout when it fetches snapshots (default 10s); however that parameter has an upper threshold of 10 seconds (condition at line 996 only sets timeout to specified value if < 11). Is this intentional? It seems like it would make more sense to give it a floor instead of a ceiling or perhaps not limit the range of potential values at all. Best regards, Chris Roberts

why ld.so in arm-linux-gnueabihf- toolchains search so many paths ?

by Barry Song

hi guys, sorry maybe my question is stupid as i am not a toolchain guy. i have no idea why ld.so search so many paths. for example, put "-rpath" with /home/cnb1szh/test in a simple test program. then during dynamic linking at runtime, we get the below linking debug information: 30693: find library=libmytest.so [0]; searching 30693: search path=/home/cnb1szh/test/tls/v7l/neon/vfp:/home/cnb1szh/test/tls/v7l/neon:/home/cnb1szh/test/tls/v7l/vfp:/home/cnb1szh/test/tls/v7l:/home/cnb1szh/test/tls/neon/vfp:/home/cnb1szh/test/tls/neon:/home/cnb1szh/test/tls/vfp:/home/cnb1szh/test/tls:/home/cnb1szh/test/v7l/neon/vfp:/home/cnb1szh/test/v7l/neon:/home/cnb1szh/test/v7l/vfp:/home/cnb1szh/test/v7l:/home/cnb1szh/test/neon/vfp:/home/cnb1szh/test/neon:/home/cnb1szh/test/vfp:/home/cnb1szh/test (RPATH from file ./hello) 30693: trying file=/home/cnb1szh/test/tls/v7l/neon/vfp/libmytest.so 30693: trying file=/home/cnb1szh/test/tls/v7l/neon/libmytest.so 30693: trying file=/home/cnb1szh/test/tls/v7l/vfp/libmytest.so 30693: trying file=/home/cnb1szh/test/tls/v7l/libmytest.so 30693: trying file=/home/cnb1szh/test/tls/neon/vfp/libmytest.so 30693: trying file=/home/cnb1szh/test/tls/neon/libmytest.so 30693: trying file=/home/cnb1szh/test/tls/vfp/libmytest.so 30693: trying file=/home/cnb1szh/test/tls/libmytest.so 30693: trying file=/home/cnb1szh/test/v7l/neon/vfp/libmytest.so 30693: trying file=/home/cnb1szh/test/v7l/neon/libmytest.so 30693: trying file=/home/cnb1szh/test/v7l/vfp/libmytest.so 30693: trying file=/home/cnb1szh/test/v7l/libmytest.so 30693: trying file=/home/cnb1szh/test/neon/vfp/libmytest.so 30693: trying file=/home/cnb1szh/test/neon/libmytest.so 30693: trying file=/home/cnb1szh/test/vfp/libmytest.so 30693: trying file=/home/cnb1szh/test/libmytest.so but we don't have /home/cnb1szh/test/tls/, /home/cnb1szh/test/v7l/, /home/cnb1szh/test/vfp/, /home/cnb1szh/test/neon/, why does the ld.so search so many paths? -barry

Or is there an information detail I don't have that requires this fix to be skipped on the Linaro branch? Robert
