The Linaro Toolchain Working Group is pleased to announce the release of both Linaro GCC 4.4 and Linaro GCC 4.5.
Linaro GCC 4.4 is the third release in the 4.4 series. Based off the latest GCC 4.4.4, it pulls in the pre-4.4.5 changes made by the FSF over the last six months.
Linaro GCC 4.5 is the second release in the 4.5 series. Based off the latest GCC 4.5.1, it finishes the merge of many ARM-focused performance improvements and bug fixes.
Interesting changes include: * Improved performance on the Cortex-A9 * Backports of a range of performance improvements from mainline * New inline versions of the GCC builtin sync primitives
Downloads are available from the Linaro GCC page on Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/gcc-linaro
Also available is an early release of optimised string routines for the Cortex-A series, including a mix of NEON and Thumb-2 versions of memcpy(), memset(), strcpy(), strcmp(), and strlen(). For more information see: https://launchpad.net/cortex-strings
