Apology =======
This report is significantly past due. I apologize.
Status ======
The trunk remains Stage 3, so only bug fixes and documentation changes are allowed. While the various maintainers have discretion in allowing additional changes, they should, at this point, being using that discretion sparingly.
We should now be focusing clearly on getting 4.4 out the door, not on adding more things to it.
As expected, there are a number of performance and a few correctness issues stemming from IRA. These include bootstrap problems on popular platforms.
There are also several issues that seem to be related to the use of assembler CFI directives.
Quality Data ============
Priority # Change from Last Report -------- --- ----------------------- P1 26 - 2 P2 133 - 2 P3 2 - 29 -------- --- ----------------------- Total 161 - 33
Overall, the bug count is quite a bit lower than at the point of the previous report -- but the P1 and P2 counts are not significantly smaller. Some of the P3s from before likely turned out to be P1s/P2s, so this is progress -- but there seems to be quite some way to go before 4.4 is ready. In fact, some of the P2s (like PR37071, which seems to indicate that EH is broken on PA GNU/Linux) might well qualify as P1s.
