 GCC 4.4 Release Series
 Changes, New Features, and Fixes
+The latest release in the 4.4 release series is [1]GCC 4.4.1.
 Caveats
 * __builtin_stdarg_start has been completely removed from GCC.
 Support for <varargs.h> had been deprecated since GCC 4.0. Use
 + Tuning support for Itanium1 (Merced) variants. Note that code
 tuned for Itanium2 should also run correctly on Itanium1.
 * The protoize and unprotoize utilities have been obsoleted and will
 be removed in GCC 4.5. These utilities have not been installed by
 default since GCC 3.0.
-* Support has been removed for all the [1]configurations obsoleted in
+* Support has been removed for all the [2]configurations obsoleted in
 GCC 4.3.
 * Unknown -Wno-* options are now silently ignored by GCC if no other
 diagnostics are issued. If other diagnostics are issued, then GCC
 warns about the unknown options.
 * More information on porting to GCC 4.4 from previous versions of
-GCC can be found in the [2]porting guide for this release.
+GCC can be found in the [3]porting guide for this release.
 General Optimizer Improvements
 * A new command-line switch -findirect-inlining has been added. When
 turned on it allows the inliner to also inline indirect calls that
 * When the assembler supports it, the compiler will now emit unwind
 information using assembler .cfi directives. This makes it possible
 to use such directives in inline assembler code. The new option
 -fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm directs the compiler to not use .cfi
 directives.
-* The [3]Graphite branch has been merged. This merge has brought in a
+* The [4]Graphite branch has been merged. This merge has brought in a
 new framework for loop optimizations based on a polyhedral
 intermediate representation. These optimizations apply to all the
 languages supported by GCC. The following new code transformations
 are available in GCC 4.4:
 + -floop-interchange performs loop interchange transformations
 * The new -Wno-mudflap option disables warnings about constructs
 which can not be instrumented when using -fmudflap.
 New Languages and Language specific improvements
-* Version 3.0 of the [4]OpenMP specification is now supported for the
+* Version 3.0 of the [5]OpenMP specification is now supported for the
 C, C++, and Fortran compilers.
+* New character data types, per [6]TR 19769: New character types in
+C, are now supported for the C compiler in -std=gnu99 mode, as
+__CHAR16_TYPE__ and __CHAR32_TYPE__, and for the C++ compiler in
+-std=c++0x and -std=gnu++0x modes, as char16_t and char32_t too.
 C family
 * A new optimize attribute was added to allow programmers to change
 the optimization level and particular optimization options for an
 Nonetheless, the warnings given by -Wuninitialized will probably be
 more accurate if optimization is enabled.
 * -Wparentheses now warns about expressions such as (!x | y) and (!x
 & y). Using explicit parentheses, such as in ((!x) | y), silences
 this warning.
-* -Wsequence-points now warns within if, while,do while and for
+* -Wsequence-point now warns within if, while,do while and for
 conditions, and within for begin/end expressions.
 * A new option -dU is available to dump definitions of preprocessor
 macros that are tested or expanded.
 C++
-* [5]Improved experimental support for the upcoming ISO C++ standard,
+* [7]Improved experimental support for the upcoming ISO C++ standard,
 C++0x. Including support for auto, inline namespaces, generalized
 initializer lists, defaulted and deleted functions, new character
 types, and scoped enums.
 * Those errors that may be downgraded to warnings to build legacy
 code now mention -fpermissive when -fdiagnostics-show-option is
 an initializer of () and an implicitly defined default constructor
 will be zero-initialized before the default constructor is called.
 Runtime Library (libstdc++)
-* Added experimental support for the upcoming ISO C++ standard,
+* [8]Improved experimental support for the upcoming ISO C++ standard,
-C++0x. Including support for <chrono>, <condition_variable>,
+C++0x, including:
-<cstdatomic>, <forward_list>, <initializer_list>, <mutex>, <ratio>,
++ Support for <chrono>, <condition_variable>, <cstdatomic>,
-<system_error>, and <thread>. Plus unique_ptr, <algorithm>
+<forward_list>, <initializer_list>, <mutex>, <ratio>,
-additions, exception propagation, and some support for the new
+<system_error>, and <thread>.
-character types. ([6]Implementation status of C++0x library)
++ unique_ptr, <algorithm> additions, exception propagation, and
+support for the new character types in <string> and <limits>.
++ Existing facilities now exploit initializer lists, defaulted
+and deleted functions, and the newly implemented core C++0x
+features.
++ Some standard containers are more efficient together with
+stateful allocators, i.e., no allocator is constructed on the
+fly at element construction time.
 * Experimental support for non-standard pointer types in containers.
+* The long standing libstdc++/30928 has been fixed for targets
+running glibc 2.10 or later.
+* As usual, many small and larger bug fixes, in particular quite a
+few corner cases in <locale>.
 Fortran
 * GNU Fortran now employs libcpp directly instead of using cc1 as an
-external preprocessor. The [7]-cpp option was added to allow manual
+external preprocessor. The [9]-cpp option was added to allow manual
 invocation of the preprocessor without relying on filename
 extensions.
-* The [8]-Warray-temporaries option warns about array temporaries
+* The [10]-Warray-temporaries option warns about array temporaries
 generated by the compiler, as an aid to optimization.
-* The [9]-fcheck-array-temporaries option has been added, printing a
+* The [11]-fcheck-array-temporaries option has been added, printing a
 notification at run time, when an array temporary had to be created
 for an function argument. Contrary to -Warray-temporaries the
 warning is only printed if the array is noncontiguous.
 * Improved generation of DWARF debugging symbols
 * If using an intrinsic not part of the selected standard (via -std=
 common objects by decreasing storage size, which avoids the
 alignment problems.
 * Fortran 2003 support has been extended:
 + Wide characters (ISO 10646, UCS-4, kind=4) and UTF-8 I/O is
 now supported (except internal reads from/writes to wide
-strings). [10]-fbackslash now supports also \unnnn and
+strings). [12]-fbackslash now supports also \unnnn and
 \Unnnnnnnn to enter Unicode characters.
 + Asynchronous I/O (implemented as synchronous I/O) and the
 decimal=, size=, sign=, pad=, blank=, and delim= specifiers
 are now supported in I/O statements.
 + Support for Fortran 2003 structure constructors and for array
 * Automatically align the stack for local variables with alignment
 requirement.
 * GCC can now utilize the SVML library for vectorizing calls to a set
 of C99 functions if -mveclibabi=svml is specified and you link to
 an SVML ABI compatible library.
+* On x86-64, the ABI has been changed in the following cases to
+conform to the x86-64 ABI:
++ Passing/returning structures with flexible array member:
+struct foo
+{
+int i;
+int flex[];
+};
++ Passing/returning structures with complex float member:
+struct foo
+{
+int i;
+__complex__ float f;
+};
++ Passing/returning unions with long double member:
+union foo
+{
+int x;
+long double ld;
+};
+Code built with previous versions of GCC that uses any of these is
+not compatible with code built with GCC 4.4.0 or later.
 * A new target attribute was added to allow programmers to change the
 target options like -msse2 or -march=k8 for an individual function.
 You can also change the target options via the GCC target pragma
 for functions defined after the pragma.
 * GCC can now be configured with options --with-arch-32,
