With the release of GCC 13.1 (first GCC 13 release: I remind that GCC counts minor version releases starting from 1), two new ports have been created in the ports tree: * package:lang/gcc13[], tracking GCC 13 releases; * package:lang/gcc14-devel[], tracking snapshots from the new GCC 14 upstream branch. ==== The *-devel ports -A few significant changes have been made on the *-devel ports, which will be forwarded to the production ports together with more changes (see below): +Support for .init_array and .fini_array has been enabled. +FreeBSD supports both since commit gitref:83aa9cc00c2d83d05a0efe7a1496d8aab4a153bb[repository=src]. -* enable support for .init_array and .fini_array, which FreeBSD supports since commit gitref:83aa9cc00c2d83d05a0efe7a1496d8aab4a153bb[repository=src]; +The default bootstrap option on i386, amd64, and aarch64 has been reverted from LTO_BOOTSTRAP to STANDARD_BOOTSTRAP: -* switch back to STANDARD_BOOTSTRAP on i386, amd64 and aarch64 as default option instead of LTO_BOOTSTRAP: LTO bootstrap produces too many failures on the package builders for those architectures. -Users wanting to use LTO_BOOTSTRAP can still enable the option manually. +- LTO bootstrap produces too many failures on the package builders for those architectures +- LTO_BOOTSTRAP remains available for users who want it. + +Those changes will be forwarded to the production ports. ==== The production ports Upstream has released GCC 13, for which the new port package:lang/gcc13[] has been created. GCC 11 and GCC 12 have been updated upstream and a new release of GCC 10 is planned. All corresponding ports now need to be updated. To ease the work of both ports maintainers and users, I plan to test and update together all the following changes: * updates of package:lang/gcc10[], package:lang/gcc11[], package:lang/gcc12[]; * update of GCC_DEFAULT to 13; * enabling of .init_array and .fini_array on the production ports; * switching back from LTO_BOOTSTRAP to STANDARD_BOOTSTRAP on the production ports. This will provide the following advantages: * more testing with less exp-runs; * fewer builds for ports users.
