From: Greg.mpls@... Date: 2018-08-21T00:41:25+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:88583] [Ruby trunk Misc#15012] Testing on latest version gcc on Travis CI Issue #15012 has been updated by MSP-Greg (Greg L). Given that Appveyor/Windows MSYS2/MinGW also has gcc 8.2.0 available (ruby-loco uses it), seems like a good idea to me. One would hope that newer gcc releases are also better optimized for JIT... Off topic - about Appveyor testing - MSYS2/MinGW - `mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain` is gcc. There is also a `base-devel` group. ruby-loco updates both, but toolchain is probably all that is required... ---------------------------------------- Misc #15012: Testing on latest version gcc on Travis CI https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15012#change-73639 * Author: jaruga (Jun Aruga) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: ---------------------------------------- Ruby's Travis CI [1] is running on gcc 4.8.4 as the default behavior of Travis gcc setting. 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.
