FYI, the avr backend of GCC (avr-gcc, avr-g++) has been deprecated for v10, release schedule spring 2020.
If the backend is not re-written to use a different scheme to model condition-code, it will be removed from GCC in v11, release schedule spring 2021.
Does this mean anything in a practical sense?
Is GCC support slowly going away (or becoming lower priority) for AVR's?
I suspect Microchip would like me to buy their compiler instead (and give me a 50% off coupon).
Does this mean anything in a practical sense?
This relates to gcc v10. Given that Microchip is still using gcc v5, it would probably take 10 years or more before anyone notices anything.
Anyway, I noticed that code quality has peaked for v8 (when the ISR fix was added), v9 seems to produce worse code. It seems recent gcc improvements are deleterious for AVR targets, so I predict v10 will be even worse.

Would ones at Microchip expense for some of that effort?
(Microchip direct or indirect effort for source code modifications, FSF AVR GCC community effort to reach release)

FYI, the avr backend of GCC (avr-gcc, avr-g++) has been deprecated for v10, release schedule spring 2020.
If the backend is not re-written to use a different scheme to model condition-code, it will be removed from GCC in v11, release schedule spring 2021.
Forgive me for asking a stupid question, but does this mean there will be no more AVR support after GCC v9.x?
Technically, the removal will likely be carried out right after v10 will have been released, which is in less than 1/2 a year from now.
So how hard will it be for the AVR folk to keep v10 updating chasing various OS changes (assuming we don't care much about the back end.)
Arduino is now shipping gcc 7.4 to try to deal with the latest "64bit only) MacOS (or they're trying to, anyway.)
If you read the documents the deprecation will be avoided if someone implements the requested changes. Any chance the Atmel folks would do this?
There are two ways of representing the condition codes in the back-end for an architecture: the old-fashioned, deprecated way called CC0 representation and the modern, mandatory for new back-ends, way called MODE_CC representation. As of now, most back-ends have been converted to the MODE_CC representation, but a few of them still use the CC0 representation, as summarized in Status of supported architectures.
chasing various OS changes
It is also about chasing the C/C++ standards, and what if some other language is added.
Wonder what "Arduino will do" ...
I suppose a commercial compiler won't "Cut" there .. Maybe they have to switch to the "handicapped" version w. bad optimization.
Interesting ....
/Bingo

Currently the condition code is implicitly clobbered by almost anything.
Most of the inline assembly I've seen does not include cc as a clobber.
If it does arithmetic, it clobbers cc, i.e. SREG.
Also, my recollection is that the ABI does not explicitly state whether function calls can clobber cc.
An obvious solution is to have both inline assembly and function calls implicitly clobber cc.
It is also about chasing the C/C++ standards
Meh. I doubt whether most AVR embedded programmers are that much about new features ("current" avr-gcc is already ~4 major gcc versions behind, and I don't see a huge clamor for updates. People are still using 2010 WinAVR...) The people trying to do legacy hardware support "but xyz tool was W95 and doesn't run on anything newer than XP and I found the source but it won't even compile on a modern system and ..." seem more common.
The one place where "old compiler" may start to matter is when in 2026 they start making Arduinos with the as yet unannounced ATWhizzMegaSuper12345 and the compiler can't support it.
the as yet unannounced ATWhizzMegaSuper12345
Nicknamed the AVR O-Mega.
Inline asm would be by far the easiest of all problems. Just implement the target_asm_clobbers hook.
.
Maybe it's time to let avr-gcc walk the walk of all mortals. At least that would save me some spare time because then I would no more be tempted to improve it.
There is a bounty now on BountySource for the cc0 -> CCmode conversion:
.
Wow, if they managed it for the 68K, surely the prospects for AVR are promising...
$85 in less than a day.
The 68K bugzillla was created a little over two months ago:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=91851
... and appears to be resolved.
The bounty reached $5000 after little more than a month, and hit a little more than $6000 before being closed.

The bounty is up to $315.
The bounty is up to $535.
Th 68k changes are pretty massive :-(
Bounty is at $565, increasing by $1per day.
With that speed, it will surpass the 68k bounty in about 13 years...
Does anyone know whether someone converted MSP430? That might be a closer example than the 68k.
The bounty is up to $1470.
I admit I have started reading the GCC Internals Manual. The entire manual is about 800 pages.
(I'm making no commitment to work on this or claim that I am qualified to do so.)
status: I can now build gcc for avr from checked-out git repo. I have yet to figure out how to run an uninstalled gcc.
bounty increased to $2020
I have read through a good amount of the GCC internals document and spent a little time going through avr.md.
The existing code seems to use attributes for clobbering cc.
;; '*' because it is not used in rtl generation.
(define_insn "*reload_inpsi"
[(set (match_operand:PSI 0 "register_operand" "=r")
(match_operand:PSI 1 "immediate_operand" "i"))
(clobber (match_operand:QI 2 "register_operand" "=&d"))]
"reload_completed"
{
return avr_out_reload_inpsi (operands, operands[2], NULL);
}
[(set_attr "length" "6")
(set_attr "adjust_len" "reload_in24")
(set_attr "cc" "clobber")])

Hi
You're receiving this because we updated our Terms of Service.
Withdrawal of new Terms of Service
Yesterday, we communicated a change to the Bountysource Terms of Service (ToS) agreement.
These changes have been withdrawn and the ToS reverted to its prior state.
The ToS will be revised and clarified in the future.
Thankyou
Bountysource Team
That's funny, I just stumbled upon this thread today and only hours ago Microchip added $5000 to the bounty (now at $7,150)
I hope that will speed up the conversion to MODE_CC
Yeah it's a decent amount now, but still, I'm sure not many people actually know how to do it.

You don't actually get the full amount in cash when you claim a bounty. They take a 10% fee.
It's still enough to at least get get me thinking about it. The first problem is determining if bountysource reliably pays out claims. There is little transparency, so maybe they only pay out on 50% of bounty claims that are completed...
Yeah it's a decent amount now
Up near 2 weeks wages, for a moderately experienced compiler programmer! Probably not including "burden"...
I guess that's the point of these sites, a kind o wage auction, so that Microchip doesn't have to pay the real cost of doing this. But I understand there will be no takers until the reward is way higher. I'm not taking it, that's for sure.
But isn't there a risk that someone that is not qualified accepts this and does a poor job that just seems to work? Who will do the testing?
... so that Microchip doesn't have to pay the real cost of doing this.

What guarantee do the bounty players have that a "good job" is done? Code costs money, high quality, reliable, maintainable code costs astronomical amounts of money. Or maybe its Hobson's Coice? They just accept the only offer that turns up.

What guarantee do the bounty players have that a "good job" is done? Code costs money, high quality, reliable, maintainable code costs astronomical amounts of money. Or maybe its Hobson's Coice? They just accept the only offer that turns up.
As I read it, the backers who funded the bounty collectively decide whether or not a particular contributor has done an adequate job.
Personally, at a minimum I would hope that they would observe activity on the GCC bugzilla case tracking this issue, and on GCC's development mailing list, to confirm that the proposed solution was accepted through that project's normal peer review system for official acceptance into the upstream project's git repository.
On the gcc mailing list, I see signs of at least two people actively expressing interest in pursuing this and seeking out advice on next steps.
On the gcc mailing list, I see signs of at least two people actively expressing interest in pursuing this and seeking out advice on next steps.
I'm following that, and glad to see it being worked by motivated people. Also, I'm guessing the gcc maintainers are going to be sanity checking the design.
The challenge I see is that there are 100's - 1000's of forms (e.g., define_insn) in avr.md and other .md files to update.
'Tis my understanding that the issue is trickier on AVRs and other 8-bitters than
for most other gcc targets because a certain amount of int is 32 bits is baked in.
IIRC that is why -lm was (is?) needed to make floating point work correctly.
The generic software floating point code assumed 32-bit ints.
So it seems someone was working on this and there is a proposed gcc version: https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/tree/2ab4c1ced160dae1a5ab9562da700b42e4ff740d
It needs testing, but honestly I never compiled gcc or avr-gcc :(
So it seems someone was working on this and there is a proposed gcc version:
But there's been no activity on that since August 5th ?
Yeah, I guess motivation was in short supply, possibly because lack of feedback?
[puts tongue firmly in cheek...]
Welcome to the world of open source software!
[...takes tongue out of cheek]
There was a bit of traffic on the gcc developer's email list around August timeframe (subject "Clobber REG_CC only for some constraint alternatives?").
Nothing after that. Someone could be head-down working it still. If given up, I think there'd be an announcement on the bounty.

Developers - [avr] Convert the backend to MODE_CC so it can be kept in future releases - (Bountysource)
I bet, after they get it working, it will just generate crappy code compared to the older versions. And some of them are already haggling about how to split the bounty...
I thought avr-gcc since 9.something was already known to produce "crappy code", unrelated to the condition-code stuff.
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/sho...
Apparently v8 wasn't great either, and I can say that even the 7.3 used by Arduino produces extra code compared to 5.4.
:-(
I can't find it at the moment,
but my recollection is that the ATLAS guys have been complaining
that gcc's Intel code quality has been going steadily downhill.

Possibly you folks here can help to verify the results
Well, speaking for myself, I'd love to but I'm just a guy who uses compilers, I know nothing about their internals and test suites.
In other words, if you have a precompiled avr-gcc toolchain I can download, preferably for Windows, I can test it with some of my code. Anything else is, sadly, way over my head.
Well, I tried. I followed your instructions, but my first attempt bailed. The last few lines of output:

Joey / Ron,
You can sometimes get an idea of why a git server will not talk by simply telnet'ing to it and seeing if there are "hidden" response messages that git itself is not reporting. I'm guessing this is all about permissions/security.
"git clone git://github.com/saaadhu/gcc-avr-cc0.git" worked for me.
Ubuntu 18.04. I have previously built avr-gcc from the gcc.gnu.org git repo. I will try sometime in the next week.

I'm a bit of a gitiot. As a one-man show with minimal needs, I've not knuckled down and dug into source code control systems like git. When I need something from github, I generally download a .zip.
All I wanted to do is help out @abebeos by running his test script :( ... I don't really have the time at the moment to dig in.
"git clone git://github.com/saaadhu/gcc-avr-cc0.git" worked for me.
$ ../build.sh # build the main (upstream) gcc
It's not a blazing fast machine. I'll post as soon as I have a final result. Might be 2021 ;-)

Witihin ~/.dejagnurc, there should be an entry like
set avrtest_dir "/home/laz/avr-gnu/avrtest" set boards_dir {} lappend boards_dir "${avrtest_dir}/dejagnuboards"possibly the ${HOME} variable has not expanded correct, leading to a wrong avrtest_dir.
I see the problem now. Your scripts are hard-coded for ~/avr-gnu/. My /home partition doesn't have enough free space (around 8GB) for a full avr-gcc build, so I was building in /tmp/rd/.
Why did you use ${HOME} instead of ${PWD}/../..?
I don't quite get why everybody should reproduce these test results... The author of a patch will run the tests to make sure he didn't do something terribly stupid.
Much more interesting would be to know what impact the patch has on code density of real-world projects.

What is important now is that no regressions are introduced (gcc testsuite)
Complete, precise, correct; correctness before precision.
... dead-silence the last days,
GCC 11.0.0 Status Report (2020-11-16), Stage 3 in effect now
I followed avrtest's Readme back then. That's all. Didn't give any other simulator a try, though. avrtest might be the fastest, and it comes with board descriptions as passed via RUNTESTFLAGS.
Dev stage should hardly matter for avr, it's ternary (always been).
Working on avr BE, you are the lone wolf. It has always been that way, but maybe that bounty makes a difference - until it's payed or decayed.

It's all the "internal compiler error" that left me with a raised eyebrow.
If you'd like, I can do this all again (with your updated git), but this time I can run script beforehand and can attached the resulting (sanitised) typescript.

Out of curiosity, and for comparison purposes, is there a repository somewhere with avr-gcc built from ALL of the major release of gcc after 5.4 (the version shipping from Microchip)?
Version 6.x, 7.x (Arduino is shipping 7.x), 8.x, 9.x. and 10.x ?
secondary is no significant regressions in applications (bootloader, libc, ...); westfw, the maintainer of Optiboot, has posted in this thread.
I don't really consider "the code is bigger now" to be a "regression" unless it's gratuitous and there is no way to way to work around it.
For example, with 4.8, Optiboot failed to fit in its 512 bytes because avr-gcc got more aggressive with inlining short functions (despite -Os), and I had to add "noinline" attributes to putch() and getch() and similar.

Well I know how to get them for windows and linux but you use Mac, right?
Anyway, I use the archives of Zak Kemble's blog (@abebeos also mentions it as reference) from the Wayback Machine
https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://blog.zakkemble.net/avr-gcc-builds/
If you go to different time periods, it's possible to get different versions of the avr-gcc toolchain. It's not a neat list, but it works.
void
Not sure how the status/quality of clang is for avr.
AVR LLVM released | AVR Freaks
Yes gcc is full of holes but some are useful. Problem is, some programmers will rely on them working and then updating to a new avr-gcc version will break the code (in fact, just reveal holes already present).
Here is a small C++ example, it's kind of my pet issue 
#include <stdint.h>
#define MMREGADDR 0x20
#define MMREG (*(volatile uint8_t*) MMREGADDR)
typedef struct
{
volatile uint8_t data;
} port_t;
#define MMREG_s (*(port_t*) MMREGADDR)
// The following 2 lines should always generate errors, since they violate C++ standard regarding valid constant expressions
// (they include a reinterpret_cast, in fact 2: int -> pointer -> int)
constexpr uint16_t mmreg_addr = (uint16_t) &(MMREG_s.data); // v5 compiles (AS7), v7 compiles (Arduino), v9, v10 fail
//constexpr uint16_t mmreg_addr = (uint16_t) &MMREG; // v5 compiles (AS7), v7 fails (Arduino), v9, v10 fail
int main(void){
return mmreg_addr;
}Basically this is a cast from int to pointer and back to int. Even though the compiler actually knows this value at compile time and could use it as a constant expression, the C++ standard says it should pretend it doesn't and generate an error (I don't agree with the standard here, but hey, I hear these people are very smart so whatever they say must surely be right).
Only newer versions of avr-gcc do the check, version 7 currently used in the Arduino suite does the check only in some situations. It's quite a mess.
edit: link to live compiler (v5 and v9 only) https://godbolt.org/z/d9K4sY
It's quite a mess.
.
But the very problem is questionable C++ features like constexpr+reinterpret_cast and what is (not) allowed to do with them.
.
Or you could blame avr-libc for only supplying SFR accesses via dereferencing volatile pointers, but does not supply SFR addresses as (macros resolving to) scalars.
I guess I'm ranting because I've seen people using things like &PORTB as template arguments, because AS7 will accept that even though it's invalid code. I blame Microchip for still using avr-gcc v5 in their official toolchain when it has so many bugs.
Besides you added features like the optimized ISR prologue/epilogue to one of the v8 sub-versions, right? An important feature IMO. Yet lots of people won't ever benefit from it because v5 ships with AS7 and v7 with Arduino.
Basically this is a cast from int to pointer and back to int.

__builtin_const_expr(arg) is a constant expression if the compiler can evaluate it.
If an author is truly ambitious, 'tis a constant expression if the toolchain can evaluate it.

no way, dishwashing pays better
Exactly, we already commented earlier in this thread that the $7k reward could not possibly cover the work involved here. So basically only people very dedicated to the open software cause and to AVR would work here for a symbolic prize.
People in it for the money will quickly run out of motivation.
void
I appreciate the effort; it was fun to spin the toolchain on one of my Linux machines; I hope you can get the bounty; it is probably lost otherwise.
The work is not that much the problem. Dealing with a mismanaged project, terrible infrastructure and rude ["co-workers and management"]
Sorry to have to tell you, but those sorts of problems are ALWAYS "part of the work." :-)

The work is not that much the problem. Dealing with a mismanaged project, terrible infrastructure and rude code-monkeys-in-a-position-of-power (those who see only code/patches, and not other kind of necessary efforts) is the motivation killer. I had so much momentum to continue this, but...

@abebos,
While I was (and a few others were, too) quite happy to assist you, I am disappointed in many of your responses. So far the only evidence of any rudeness has been from you.
Irrespective of any work you may have done, and any contributions you may have made, mouthing off here (or anywhere else, for that matter) will not buy you a lick of respect, but only served to undermine any good you may have done. Indeed, that is one of the most recognisable marks of an 'amateur'.

Ababeos - what on earth is the point of deleting almost every one of your posts in this thread? Apart from anything else, it renders the entire thread pointless for anyone reading at a later date, and to be blunt, it's downright rude.

I would guess... no.
Mostly for my sanity and reference:

https://github.com/saaadhu/gcc-avr-cc0/issues/2
at some point Georg told people on the GCC list who abebeos was
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2020-December/561762.html
What do we think?
I don't know what to think; if it is drama, I don't like drama, but maybe it is more like a Monty Python sketch.
