4 months ago

GCC 16 is in its final stage (stage 4) of development, focusing on documentation and regression fixes.
No new features are allowed unless approved by GCC release managers.
GCC 16.1 release candidates will start once all P1 status regressions are resolved (currently 51 P1 bugs).
New features in GCC 16 include Armv9.6-A support, initial AMD Zen 6 support, Picolibc support, and AMD GPU managed memory support.
C++20 will be the default when not specified, and Intel Nova Lake and Wildcat Lake support is ready.
The default LTO partition count is being increased, and an Algol 68 front-end is being added.
