The Linaro Toolchain Working Group (TCWG) is pleased to announce the 2017.08-rc1 stable Release-Candidate of the Linaro GCC 7 source package.

The GCC 7 series introduced an ABI change for ARM targets by fixing a bug (present since GCC 5, see link below) that affects conformance to the procedure call standard (AAPCS). The bug affects some C++ code where class objects are passed by value to functions and could result in incorrect or inconsistent code being generated. If the option -Wpsabi is enabled (on by default) the compiler will emit a diagnostic note for code that might be affected by this ABI change.

For an explanation of the changes please see the following website:

https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-7/changes.html

This stable1 Release-Candidate is based on FSF GCC 7.1.1+svn250046 and includes performance improvements and bug fixes backported from mainline GCC. This Release-Candidate is based on Linaro Snapshot GCC 7.1-2017.07.
