Subject: [RHBA-2000:132-03] Bug fixing update of GCC 2.96
Red Hat, Inc. Red Hat Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis: Bug fixing update of GCC 2.96
Advisory ID: RHBA-2000:132-03
Issue date: 2000-12-19
Updated on: 2000-12-19
Product: Red Hat Linux
Keywords: cpp gcc gcc-c++ gcc-chill gcc-g77 gcc-java gcc-objc libstdc++

1. Topic:
Bug fixing update of GCC 2.96
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.0 – alpha, i386
3. Problem description:
Several bugs have been found and fixed in the GNU Compiler
Collection snapshot which shipped with Red Hat Linux 7.0. Also,
some optimizations have been fixed to improve generated code
quality.
This update fixes several Internal Compiler Errors on invalid
input as well as some on valid input. It also fixes a couple of
miscompilations. See the bug IDs and package changelog for more
details.
There were also a few fixed bugs in the Standard C library, so
even non-developers should upgrade at least libstdc package.
In addition to fixed bugs this update improves generated code
quality, e.g. on Stepanov benchmark reduces the abstraction penalty
significantly and also properly optimizes out some glibc string
macros which previously produced suboptimal code.
4. Solution:
For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filename]
where filename is the name of the RPM.
