A big barrier to going through the bug tracker is the sheer amount of time and effort required to investigate each issue. I think it might be easier if I had more states to work with. I think the workflow for a real GCC bug should go like this: Open -> Confirmed -> Analyzed -> Closed (This is roughly the workflow that FSF GCC uses on their Bugzilla.) This reflects the reality that I may be able to confirm a bug, but I may not be able to immediately analyze it, or I might be able to analyze it, but its not obvious how to fix it. Or some bugs may require some time investment to even confirm, if they're something fairly strange. I think it would be really helpful to be able to triage and sort bugs in this manner, with the immediate goal of getting bugs into 'confirmed' state or closed, and ultimately delegate all appropriate bugs to the GCC bug tracker where they stand a chance of being fixed. |
