The process to update GCC default version to GCC 13 has started with an exp-run. Thanks to Antoine Brodin who ran the exp-run and to all other developers and ports maintainers involved.
The same exp-run contains additional patches as anticipated in last quarterly status report. In particular, it contains patches to update
-
lang/gcc11 to version 11.4.0;
-
lang/gcc12 to version 12.3.0;
-
lang/gcc13 to version 13.2.0.
The reader might remember that I had planned to update GCC default version to GCC 13 as soon as 13.1.0 was out, but as it can be noted the GCC developers were faster to release 13.2.0 than I was working on the GCC ports.
Most of the bugs reported in the exp-run are due to the same
error: error: expected identifier before
'__is_convertible'
. It seems that the issue is an
incompatibility between FreeBSD 12’s libcxx and GCC 13 headers.
Please check the discussion
in the exp-run for more information and to provide your
feedback.
