Yesterday, gcc-14 emerged onto my mostly "stable" x86_64 Gentoo system. Should I switch to using gcc-14 ?
Code:
$ eselect gcc list
 [1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-13 *
 [2] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-14

Normally this happens automatically when the old version of gcc is emerge --depclean'ed, so sure.

When a new compiler is available, I usually check the tracker bug to see if there are issues with the things I want on my machine. For gcc-14 see bug 914580.

We usually recommend switching to a new branch when it gets stabled, as it only gets stabled when we're confident it's ready, but of course, users can do what they wish.

Thank you for the replies.

Ionen, on my system, I think the reason there was not an auto-switch to the new stable gcc is there is one package that still wants gcc-13. From 'emerge --depclean -p -v gcc'

Code:
Calculating dependencies... done!
  sys-devel/gcc-13.3.1_p20241115 pulled in by:
    @system requires sys-devel/gcc
    dev-util/nvidia-cuda-toolkit-12.6.1 requires <sys-devel/gcc-14_pre[cxx]
