Hi Greg, > Sorry, my message was unclear. No problem at all. Thanks for the explanation to be cleared. > the CI is now testing both mswin and mingw builds. So, adding gcc-8 to the both environments makes sense for me. What I want to share as one of the benefits is * It is beneficial for people who are maintaining the Debian or RPM package of Ruby or gem packages on Debian or Fedora project like me. :) The latest version gcc is actively used as a main compiler on Fedora project. ---------------------------------------- Misc #15012: Testing on latest version gcc on Travis CI https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15012#change-73663 * 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.
