From: "jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans) via ruby-core" Date: 2023-01-19T08:07:14+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:111901] [Ruby master Misc#19353] Drop gcc <= 6 and clang <= 9 Issue #19353 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans). OpenBSD/sparc64 uses gcc 4.2.1 (last GPLv2 version) as the system compiler. The sparc64 backend for clang is not yet mature (last I checked), so this would make it so Ruby 3.3+ would be unlikely to be supported on OpenBSD/sparc64 (at least, until the clang sparc64 backend matures). I would like to keep support for gcc 4.2.1 if possible, but I certainly understand if support has to be dropped. ---------------------------------------- Misc #19353: Drop gcc <= 6 and clang <= 9 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19353#change-101320 * Author: shyouhei (Shyouhei Urabe) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- We test those old compilers using Ubuntu bionic. This OS is reaching its EOL. Making them available would become harder. I would like to drop supporting them.
