 Posted: Sun Nov 02, 2008 7:58 pm Post subject: GCC 4.4.0 testing |
 |
|
Early days yet , but perhaps it may be useful to start a thread.....
gcc-4.4 from dirtyepic's overlay ~amd64 2008.0/desktop. gnome/berkano/mozilla overlays
emerge system,world just 9 failures from 550 packages, not too bad 
net-nds/openldap-2.3.43-r1
dev-libs/boost-1.35.0-r2
sys-fs/reiser4progs-1.0.6-r2
dev-libs/apr-util-1.3.4
net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.1_beta1-r1
dev-java/antlr-2.7.7
mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-3.0_alpha2
media-gfx/f-spot-0.4.3.1
app-office/openoffice-3.0.0
Also dev-libs/nspr-4.7.1 looks to compile fine , but as mention in a comment to dirtyepic's planet gentoo post, appears to cause webpages to be misrendered
and screws up nautilus. |

Performance is great thanks to the new register allocator (ira).
This is the first time in years that a new gcc release makes programs go faster
instead of slowing everything down further.
Even a kernel compiled with 4.4 feels snappier.

| 4.4 sounds really promising, I'll be among the early-adopters. |

i have made the switch. so far paludis is broken(ok with me).
i haven't done a system upgrade(takes too long).
stuff compiled as the are upgraded are ok for now.
seems faster to me.

had anyone put -fgraphite in his CFLAGS?
Or something more sophisticated?
I'm currently rebuilding world. This is a old machine, so I will take 2 days  |

| Something related: We are going to stabilise GCC 4.3.2 as soon as possible. But some packages still need to be fixed (bug 198121) and others need stabilisation (bug 245160). The collection of needed stabilisations is not yet complete, so gather information and file a bug. Thanks. |

Well they almost have all P1 regressions then need to drop the 161 count down below 100 before they officially release it. I can't wait for the bad boy , I know it's too early to even consider it. But I wonder what will be in 4.5.0. I'll probably switch to GCC-4.4.0 when it gets in RC stage for me like I did with 4.3.0

I cant compile kernel 2.6.27 with gcc version 4.4.0-pre9999 built 20081109 (Gentoo SVN ebuild) rev. 141714 ()
| Code: | drivers/built-in.o: In function `usb_submit_urb':
(.text+0x149919): undefined reference to `____ilog2_NaN'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1 |
Another my problem is firefox (from source), on some sites i have 5x or more bigger fonts etc. but xulrunner and ff is compiled by 4.3.2.
Any idea? |

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36359 (maybe try -Os)
additionally i got a lot of OOMs (for many cpp sources gcc needs more than 2GB mem) and internal compiler errors (compiling kde), so i guess... it's just not ready yet |

Just to point out: Although I have not read somewhere about it, gcc-4.4 apparently cleaned up even more include files than gcc-4.3 already did. So the failing of package compilation is often actually a bug of the packages (missing includes) and not of gcc-4.4. >=eix-0.15.0 should be fixed. |

Just tried the current snapshot with CFLAGS="-O2 -march=core2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -msse4.1 -ftree-vectorize" and consistently got about 10% speed-improvement when encoding with oggenc - not bad I'd say  |

On that note, has anyone reading managed/does anyone reading know how to enable graphite?

|
|
I have a Fortran code that works just fine with gfortran-4.1.2, and gets the wrong result with gfortran-4.3.2. It also gives the wrong result on a Ubuntu system with gfortran 4.2.4. I'd like to give gfortran-4.4 a try, but don't know how to get it. My thanks for a pointer (and perhaps instructions if the installation procedure is not obvious).

Here's a list of changes in gcc-4.4:
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.4/changes.html
It mentions Graphite and how to enable it. That said, you may also want to read this thread on the GCC Mailing List:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2008-10/msg00191.html
The developers were discussing the Graphite options and the possibility of renaming them. I don't know if they ever did or not. |
