Tristan Gingold wrote:Hi,
as summer is traditionally the period for binutils major release, it's
time to speak about 2.20.
The proposed schedule is:
* The 2.20 branch 2.20 is created around September 1st, as well as a first snapshot.
* The first release is planned for end September.
I have just this moment spotted a bug in the PE-targeted linker's
auto-import feature; it interacts badly with GCC hot/cold partitioning. For
auto-import to work, the .text section has to be made writeable in the
executable image, but (presumably due to some limiation of a pattern or
substring match somewhere) this doesn't happen to the .text.unlikely section.
This has only just been made visible by a very recently added testcase in the
g++ testsuite.
Should be fairly trivial to fix, by which I mean "take me a couple of hours
to come up with a patch, starting from now". If you weren't rushing to cut
the branch first thing this morning, I'd like to try and get it checked-in
first just to save me having to apply it twice, but don't change your schedule
on my account; this note is just a headsup to let you know what's going on.
Thanks, Tristan.
