GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain

gcc-4.8 preview available in git?

Asked by Peter A. Bigot

I'd like to start using gcc 4.8 for C++11 work on embedded ARM, though the packaged release won't be available until the end of the year. I can build something from source, but AFAICT the ARM branches of the GCC SVN repository (http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc/branches/ARM/) are not included of the git mirror of that repository (http://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=heads).

Is it crucial that I use the ARM/embedded-4_8-branch material? If so, is that in a git repository anywhere, or do I need to check the whole thing out of SVN to get the sources? (I have a lot of GNU toolchain stuff under git and find it much easier than SVN to use when comparing across versions and branches, so I'd really prefer to use it if possible.)

The gcc git mirror is lack of ability to cover branches under folder like branches/ARM/embedded-4_8-branch. Thus no git mirror for it.

You can use this branch for some experimental purposes but you should be aware that there will be a lot of changes to this branch before the year-end release.

My hope/intent was to track those changes, and maybe contribute to pre-release testing. Thanks, though.
