Part of the reason no more merges have been performed incorporating changed made by Ada Core is that we have baselined on GCC 3.1 for a while in order to have a stable back end while working on remaining regressions using the GCC 3.1 back end compared to GCC 2.8.1. One lesson learned from the last big merge I did, is that it only makes sense to prepare such a merge after we have merged in all changes made in the GCC tree. Last week Joseph assigned the GNATS PR about dropped patches to me, and I will look at that PR and see what remains to be fixed. > I'd like to encourage the Ada maintainers to set up at least a web > page documenting the Ada support in GCC and the plans they have... The next major development we plan is converting the Ada front end to function-at-a-time mode. We hope to be able to contribute this before the end of the year. -Geert -- Again appologies for the misquoting! Link to thread: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-09/msg00887.html
