Hello,
I have a patch for ARM that I want to test and I'm not sure what's the procedure of testing in Linaro nor to where it should be committed. (GCC trunk? it's currently under bug fixes mode only). I appreciate help with that.
Hi Revital. Sorry for the delay. In general you should either native build or cross build, and then test from there. You can native build on your own hardware or use the boards inside my farm. Once tested, the patch should be sent to gcc-patches@, approved, committed to upstream trunk, then backported to our consolidation branch. This is tricker at the moment due to upstream being in stage 3, so I recommend implementing against trunk, asking hat-in-hand for a pre-review on gcc-patches@, backporting it to our 4.6 branch, and backporting it to our 4.5 branch.
Very brief response I'm afraid. Let me know what you'd like expanded on.
