Current GNU Compiler Collection release manager Richard Biener of SUSE provided an update concerning the upcoming GCC 15 stable compiler release.
As of yesterday the GCC 15 codebase is down to 17 bugs of P1 priority, the highest priority which must either be fixed ahead of released or demoted to a lower tier. The 17 P1 bug count is a reduction of 15 bugs from the prior report.
Meanwhile there are 604 P2 bugs outstanding, down 7 from the prior report, and then 147 P3 bugs as a reduction of 120 bugs from the prior report. But there are 21 new P4 bugs taking that count up to 229 bugs. The details in full via this status report.
GCC 15 remains in its “stage 4” development mode that is focused just on regression bug fixes and documentation updates. They are slowly moving toward the release that will be GCC 15.1. If traditions hold, GCC 15.1 stable will be out either in the later part of March or April.
GCC 15 moves its default C language version to C23, introduces new AMD Zen target optimizations, adds Intel Diamond Rapids targeting, adds Fujitsu Monaka CPU target support, Intel AVX10.2 support, more Intel APX enablement, retires Xeon Phi support, and many other changes from hardware support to language features.
