From: jaruga@... Date: 2018-08-20T14:30:55+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:88572] [Ruby trunk Misc#15012] Testing on latest version gcc on Travis CI Issue #15012 has been updated by jaruga (Jun Aruga). The demerit is * The Travis test running time could be longer than current one. But maybe not so long time because those test cases are run in parallel. * I am not sure whether the "ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test" repository [1] shown on the Travis document [2] is stable.

Right now gcc's latest version is 8. Though it is important to test on the old version gcc-4.8, also it is meaningful to test on the latest version gcc, knowing we have RubyCI. [2] The benefit to run on gcc-8 is * We can care the issue on the latest version of gcc easier, such as visualizing the build warnings on the log. * We can show contributors or developers how ruby could be built on the latest version gcc. I sent the pull-request [3] to show the code as a proposal.
