== GCC ==
* Verified status of patches in Linaro 4.6 that might not yet be in mainline / Linaro 4.7. Ported two of Ira's vectorizer patches and created merge request.
* Successfully tested and benchmarked 4.7 version of Richard's sched-pressure patch, with similar results as seen on 4.6. Rebased branch due to conflicts with recent mainline merge; will commit after retesting.
* Investigated LP #923397 (Broken alignment attribute). Now fixed in FSF mainline and 4.6 branch, will get merged into Linaro GCC 4.6 automatically for next release.
* Ongoing work on a patch to allow memory operands with vec_set and vec_extract to avoid excessive vmov generation in the PR 51819 test case.
* Started working on a patch to generate usat/ssat instructions where appropriate.
Mit freundlichen Gruessen / Best Regards
