GCC 15 Compiler Branched Ahead Of GCC 15.1 Stable Release
Apr. 17, 2025

The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) code was branched today to the releases/gcc-15 branch and GCC 16.0.0 is now the version on the main development branch.

GCC 15 release manager Richard Biener of SUSE announced today that GCC 15 is branched with now hitting zero P1 regressions of the highest priority. But there does remain 580 P2 regressions and 101 P3 regressions as well as 239 P4 regressions and 23 P5 regressions of the lowest severity. It's that P1 count though that needs to see all bugs addressed or demoted, which has now happened and thus opening the door for getting GCC 15 branched and then GCC 15.1 stable released in the coming weeks.
