Description Ryan Hill (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

This is the tracker for GCC 4.8.  Do NOT report bugs here.

- create a NEW bug assigned to the maintainer of the package in question (ie. NOT gcc-porting@gentoo.org)
- Don't use this bug for issues in GCC 4.8 itself.  File a new bug and assign
it to the toolchain team.
 - Please keep this tracker free from comments.  Discussion should take place
on the relevant bugs.

Please stop filing bugs encountered when using gcc 4.8 ebuilds from overlays, other than the toolchain overlay.  We obviously don't support these versions.

Comment 2 Mike Lothian 2013-04-06 01:37:47 UTC

Ryan this is probably a silly question but where is the gcc-4.8 ebuild in the toolchain overlay? It seems there's an alpha from last year and a live one of 4.8.1

Comment 3 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2013-04-06 20:34:10 UTC

4.8.0 is in the tree now.

Comment 4 Mike Lothian 2013-04-09 17:43:40 UTC

Ryan I've tried removing and readding the toolchain overlay but I'm still not seeing gcc-4.8

Comment 5 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

It's in the gentoo tree, not an overlay.

$ equery which gcc:4.8
/usr/portage/sys-devel/gcc/gcc-4.8.0.ebuild

Comment 6 ewomer 2013-05-31 16:51:02 UTC

gcc-4.8.1 has just been released today.

Comment 7 wbrana 2013-08-13 21:16:17 UTC

I think GCC 4.8 shouldn't be unmasked as there are many wrong code bugs in GCC's bugzilla

Comment 8 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2013-10-07 05:45:25 UTC

4.8 is now unmasked.  Please continue to add any porting bugs you encounter to this tracker so we have an accurate list of packages for stabilization.

4.8.x is in stable.  not a lot left to do here.
