Updating to GCC 14.2.0 ? #561

Open darcagn opened 4 days ago

darcagn commented 4 days ago

I'm just curious if there was any particular reason the rust-lang/gcc fork is still on a GCC 14.0.1 dev version from February. Merging the gcc-mirror:gcc/releases-14.2.0 tag into the rust-lang:gcc/master branch merges cleanly (I put it in a repo here) with zero conflicts, and both the check-jit tests and the ./y.sh test --release tests give the same pass/fail results.

We don't sync often with GCC. Is there a particular reason why you would want that?

I've ported the Rust std library to Sega Dreamcast (Hitachi SH4) operating system KallistiOS using rustc_codegen_gcc. It'd be simpler to tell users interested in using this experimental Rust support that they can build a single GCC 14.2.0 toolchain with JIT enabled rather than a GCC 14.2.0 toolchain for normal development and a separate GCC 14.0.1 toolchain with JIT for Rust stuff, not to mention later toolchains can have better compatibility building on platforms like macOS in my experience.

When I saw it cleanly merged, built, and worked fine I figured I'd let you know in case you were interested in updating to a more recent stable release version instead of the February development version, and to ask and see if there was any problem with doing so that I had not foreseen.

Ok, I'll do an update of the fork after this sync is merged.
