== Progress == * Implementing GC sections support in binutils. Tested the patch for enabling gc section. "make ld-check" now passes after setting compiler in the PATH. Used the patched binutils source and built GCC for aarch64-none-elf. Ran gcc tests on V8 foundation model. Submitted the patch to FSF binutils for a review.
* Analysis on jump threading in GCC. Not much progress this week. Identified few areas where we can improve. - In Normal jump threading see if we can thread across loop latch and loop header. - Lowering switch cases in simple and see if threading benefits. - Improve threading in VRP.
Misc ------ * Was on leave Friday 22nd. * Attend tool chain weekly meet, and stand up call * Had a look at one x86_64 related patch.
== Next week == * Update review comments if any and upstream gc sections support patch . * Continue analysis on jump threading in GCC.
