Fingers crossed.
However, this whole ordeal really calls for the #GCC developers to reevaluate their stance on not providing pre-built binaries: At the moment there exists no ground-truth bootstrapping environment for the GNU Toolchain. There are no working downloads left for Stage0 Boostrap.
I presume their stance stems from the philosophy that software should be distributed in source code form to allow for modification and wide adaptability. This mindset works for anything except compilers.
All I want is just a collection of #binutils, #GCC, #llvm+#clang, #glibc and #musl that are "free standing" / relocatable, which I can pack into a #squashfs image to carry around to my various development machines.
You'd think that for something as fundamental as compiler infrastructure with over 60 years of knowledge, the whole bootstrapping and bringup process would have been super streamlined, or at least mostly pain free by now.
Yeah, about that. IYKYK

@funkylab Right, so bit_cast is still a thing that I believe should work fine and without UB. Uhm #gcc, what are you doing

auto f1(_Complex float x)

return std::bit_cast<std::complex<float>>(x);
