Subject: qemu build-depends on gcc-3.4/g++-3.4

Date: Sat, 1 Sep 2007 14:10:58 +0200 (MEST)

Package: qemu
Severity: important
Usertag: build-depends-gcc-3.4

The package build-depends on gcc-3.4 and/or g++-3.4, which we will remove
for the lenny release. Please build the package with the default compiler
currently found in unstable.

The severity of this report is likely to be raised before the release.

I'm afraid this is not possible at the moment (something I'm quite
unhappy with), and making it use a newer compiler would imply major
work.

Subject: Yes, QEMU does need gcc-3.4

Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2008 18:17:21 +0000

QEMU requires gcc-3.4 at runtime because it emulates 5 different CPUs
by translating the machine code into C, compiling the C fragments and
editing the assembler output to trim off function call/return
sequences. This makes it the fastest emulator on the planet but it
does not understand gcc-4 assembler output.

This would be a good reason to keep gcc-3.4 in Debian unless there is
progress upstream, since QEMU is often used in Debian development
itself.

Upstream has started to add support for gcc-4.x (or rather compiler
agnostic support), via TCG (Tiny Code Generator). But it will take some
time until all instructions on all targets switch to it. Also host
support has to be written, it currently only support x86 and x86_64.
