Jakub Jelinek of Red Hat announced on the mailing list that they reached zero P1 regressions (the most critical) and less than 100 P2/P3 regressions, so the GCC 8 code was branched. As part of this status report he mentioned that if no show-stopper bugs appear, the developers would like to officially release GCC 8.1.0 by the end of next week or soon thereafter. But if any important fixes come about, a second release candidate may be warranted.
Jakub then went ahead and made 8.1 RC1 so developers can go ahead and begin testing this latest compiler.
More GCC 8 benchmarks will be on the way shortly on Phoronix.
