I just noticed the environment variables line for gcc-8 test case on `.travis.yml` are removed by the great hack in `configure.ac`. That's amazing! Thank you for the improvement. https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/f677ba8 ``` $ git show f677ba887158758c48b4f8e1df092c6aacfe6621 ... - env: - - CC=gcc-8 AR=gcc-ar-8 NM=gcc-nm-8 RANLIB=gcc-ranlib-8 ... ``` ---------------------------------------- Misc #15012: Testing on latest version gcc on Travis CI https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15012#change-74058 * 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.
