http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=934689 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=934689#c8 --- Comment #8 from C.J. Dekker --- What's your proposal how to continue? Close this bug? Or do you see other possibilities to get a bugfix backported to gcc 4.8.3. The latter solution is preferred by me. Some background information: we build our product currently on SLES 11. As soon as SLES 11 (standard) support has dropped, we move to SLES 12. As a result, customers that use our product need to have the C and C++ runtime belonging to the compiler used by us. If we switch to gcc5.x and if that compiler forces customers to install an additional C/C++ runtime that is not installed at default, then customers may complain. That's for me the reason not to switch to gcc 5.x and why I prefer gcc 4.8.3. If such dependencies do not popup (because SLES 12 at default ships a C and/or C++ runtime that suits for the gcc 5.x compiler), it is ok for me to close this bug. I will then move to gcc 5.x as soon as it become available for SLES 12 (as you have said before: at the end of this year). Please let me know your thoughts. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
