Bug fixing update of GCC 2.96

Advisory:	RHBA-2000:132-05
Type:	Bug Fix Advisory
Severity:	N/A
Issued on:	2000-12-19
Last updated on:	2000-12-19
Affected Products:	Red Hat Linux 7.0
OVAL:	N/A

Details

Several bugs have been found and fixed in the GNU Compiler Collection
snapshot which shipped with Red Hat Linux 7.0.
Also, some optimizations have been fixed to improve generated code
quality.

This update fixes several Internal Compiler Errors on invalid input as well
as some on valid input. It also fixes a couple of miscompilations.
See the bug IDs and package changelog for more details.

There were also a few fixed bugs in the Standard C++ library, so even
non-developers should upgrade at least libstdc++ package.

In addition to fixed bugs this update improves generated code quality,
e.g. on Stepanov benchmark reduces the abstraction penalty significantly
and also properly optimizes out some glibc <bits/string2.h> string
macros which previously produced suboptimal code.

Solution

For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filename]

where filename is the name of the RPM.
