GCC 14.2 Compiler Brings Latest Fixes - Including Adjustments For AMD Zen 4 / Zen 5

([GNU] 6 Hours Ago GCC 14.2)


GCC 14.2 hit the Internet today as the first stable point release update to the [1]GCC 14 series following the inaugural GCC 14.1 stable release from early May.

GCC 14.2 just incorporates various compiler fixes that have been back-ported from the GCC Git, which is currently developing as GCC 15 for release next year. It's just the usual assortment of fixes that have built up over the past three months and not any new compiler features.

There are hundreds of mostly small compiler fixes to find with the GNU Compiler Collection 14.2. Among the fixes for GCC 14.2 are [2]adjusting the unaligned load/store costs for AMD Zen 4 and Zen 5 . Those interested in particular fixes or wondering if something made it into GCC 14.2 can browse [3]GCC Git's releases/gcc-14 branch .

GCC 14.2 for those interested can be downloaded at [4]gcc.gnu.org .

phoronix

Young men are fitter to invent than to judge; fitter for execution than for
counsel; and fitter for new projects than for settled business. For the
experience of age, in things that fall within the compass of it, directeth
them; but in new things, abuseth them. The errors of young men are the ruin
of business; but the errors of aged men amount but to this, that more might
have been done, or sooner. Young men, in the conduct and management of
actions, embrace more than they can hold; stir more than they can quiet; fly
to the end, without consideration of the means and degrees; pursue some few
principles which they have chanced upon absurdly; care not how they innovate,
which draws unknown inconveniences; and, that which doubleth all errors, will
not acknowledge or retract them; like an unready horse, that will neither stop
nor turn. Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little,
repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but
content themselves with a mediocrity of success. Certainly, it is good to
compound employments of both ... because the virtues of either age may correct
the defects of both.
-- Francis Bacon, "Essay on Youth and Age"
