Posted by Michael Larabel on September 21, 2012
GCC 4.7.2 has been released with fixes for regressions and serious bugs on GCC 4.7.
The GCC 4.7.2 point release isn't particularly exciting, but does present a number of fixes for users of the 4.7 version of the GNU Compiler Collection. There's over 70 bug-fixes as part of this latest release.
There's also ABI fixes as part of GCC 4.7.2 so there is some incompatibilities for code using C++11 templates. The incompatibility is with GCC 4.7.0/4.7.1 but should restore binary interface compatibility with GCC 4.6 and earlier.
More details on GCC 4.7.2 can be found via the GCC release announcement.
