The Linaro Toolchain Working Group (TCWG) is pleased to announce the 2017.09 snapshot 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 monthly snapshot1 is based on FSF GCC 7.2+svn252337 and includes performance improvements and bug fixes backported from mainline GCC. The contents of this snapshot will be part of the 2017.11 stable2 quarterly release.

1 Source package snapshots are defined when the compiler is only put through unit-testing and full validation is not performed.

2 Stable source package releases are defined as releases where the full Linaro Toolchain validation plan is executed.
