== Progress ==
* type promotion pass (zero/sign extension elimination) - TCWG-547 (6/10)
- Fixed LTO testcase failure
- Native testing on arm chromebook found three more failures
- Fixed all of them
- Setup spec2006 on chromebook
- spec2006 with -O3 -mfpu=neon -march=armv7-a -fno-common shows some
(12 of them) regressions even though there are some gains (17 of them).
- GEOMEAN is the same.
- 437.leslie3d regresses 18% for -O3 but improves 16% if I use -O2 in
both the original and with the patch
- some optimizations like vectorization could be impacted (?)
- restarted the full benchmarking at -O2

* TCWG-620 (1/10)
- read more documents and looked at code samples

* TCWG-486 (2/10)
- Latest trunk didn’t work with the patch I had
- Original patch Zhenqiang also behaves similar. Looking into it.

* Misc (1/10)
- gcc-patchs and gcc-bugs list


== Plan ==
* TCWG-620 and TCWG-547
