GCC 4.6.3 Brings Lots of Fixes

GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection which includes front ends for C, C++, Fortran, Objective-C, Java, Ada, and Go has just reached version 4.6.3.

If the previous version of GCC was just a bug-fix release, GCC 4.6.3 is more substantial, bringing lots of updates.

Highlights of GCC 4.6.3:

· Unaligned memory accesses generated for memcpy regressions was fixed;
· ICE with invalid constexpr constructor was fixed;
· Infinite recursion compiling gold binary_test.cc testcase was repaired;
· Incorrect FSF addresses were fixed;
· A potentially wrong code generation due to wrong implict_pure check was fixed;
· A compiler crash when assigning floating point values of different kinds was repaired;
· A bug that appeared when submitting a class pointer to a subroutine was repaired.
