Hi Maciej! On 5/1/21 6:35 PM, Maciej W. Rozycki wrote:One of the changes improves code generation with old reload as well, so I have requested approval to have it backported, targetting GCC 11.2. If I get a go-ahead, then you may consider switching to GCC 11.2 when it is out (expected in 2-3 months' timeframe, which you'll probably need to use for compiler verification anyway). Otherwise the change is available to cherry-pick from trunk as commit c605a8bf9270 ("VAX: Accept ASHIFT in address expressions").The change has been approved to backport and I have committed it now, so it will be included with upcoming GCC 11.2.That's very great to hear. Will be curios whether a full bootstrap will work on NetBSD/VAX in the foreseeable future again.
Agreed that it's great to hear. I'm also very keen on actually giving this a spin as soon as it is available. Which obviously leads to the question when it will be available (2-3 months I guess) and how to get it usable on a NetBSD build.
I certainly have some big hopes that this will get us back to a properly workable NetBSD/VAX...
